The Bus Ride - Anna Wilson

Frankie is gone

Daddy’s figured it out by now

She’s long gone

To a town she’d heard in a song

On the radio years ago

On a bus

Frankie offers her last cigarette

To someone named angel

On the ride she tells a tale

Of dreams undone and those to come

Oh, oh, oh

Maybe we’re not alone

Oh, oh, oh

Maybe we’re not alone

On the aisle

A man turns to say

I’ve got nothing to hold me since she went away

Angel says hey man, Frankie and me

You know we’re startin' new just like you

So they ride

Side by side by side

Into the darkness

Every mile that they’re passin' through

Just makes them think it could be true

But surrounded by

Silent points of light that fight to be seen

In a world that’s quick to cast it’s shadow

And douse the beams

Driver says

It’s the end of the line, time to go

So Frankie wakes angel

Hey we’re here

I don’t know where here is

Just some town

This is just some bus

But it’s far enough

For the three of us
