Packed his bags and drove across the bridge
To where she waits by the garden gate
On the porch with a lemonade by the cherry trees
Won't she be pleased?
'Cause when the call of Hollywood comes
You know it's time
To come home to where you know
And you've grown
Took her to the church
Put a ring around her neck
Like they did
When they were kids
Just a dot on the map
But there he was
Ghost of a movie star
Road pointing home
On the lonely stretch
Before you forget what it was
That brought you here
And takes you near to your fate
(Don't wait)
He buried something in this, wonderful
From castles in Spain where she came
It's for the people that you miss
The girls and boys that you'll never kiss
It's for what went wrong
It's for what went right
It's for what went wrong
It's for what went right
Pier's sad: I'll climb the tree
Branches below the moon singing bye-bye
But the door is closing fast on her past
She can't go back
This fairytale won't warm your heart tonight
She's been broken, beaten, and bruised
But still believin'
I've been broken, beaten, and bruised
But still believin'
Still believin' in you
Still believin' in you
Still believin' in you
