Lyrics

The Bus

In the early morning light
A young boy waits at the station
Remembering all he could of her
He longs to see her again
He?s just waiting for the bus

With every mile thet rolls by
She wonders what she?ll find
Is she closer to her heaven
Or the hell she left behind
She?s just waiting for the bus

Chorus
The bus will bring them happiness the bus will cure the pain
The bus will bring them together to never part again

Bridge
They?d escaped the pain they?d known
When she removed the cause
The judge found her guilty
She had to leave him,
She broke the law.
But two years is such a long long time
To the boy eternity

In his hands he holds them tight
All the letters from her heart
At first they were read to him
Now he knows them all by heart
He?s just waiting for the bus
