Leaving the Scene of a Heartbreak

Appeared on Poet Wind

(S.P Standley/David Munyon/John Northrup)


Something awful happened this evening
A couple lovers fell out of love
The timing was wrong
Ah, the best love song
Could not stop a runaway heart
"The love of their life'' it was stated
Had come to a turn in the road
Just when the vibe got to going good
One found another lover's note
Leaving the scene of a heartbreak
Will cause you to cry
What does It take to be happy
With just you and I


Leaving the love of a lifetime
For some other's kiss
Leaving the scene of a heartbreak
Too hurt to fix It


We all have our own share of quarrels
I guess we like to hug an' make up
An' then for a while
Well, love hits the gas
An' like it or not, that's love
An' little by little the signals
They tell us there might be a crash
Try as we do like Mr Magoo
We wind up gettin' lost with the map


Leaving the scene of a heartbreak
Will cause you to cry
What does It take to be happy
With just you and I
Leaving the love of a lifetime
For some other's kiss
Leaving the scene of a heartbreak
Too hurt to fix it
