Summoning courage to do the right thing by an old lover; and a twist..

lyrics

I’m waiting for the Wyalong West bus to come
Hoping for the nerve to do what must be done
You’ve wasted all these years and a lifetime of my tears
Could never take away the pain of the wicked thing I’ve done

I’ve hidden in a bottle ‘stead of calling you
My beard has grown because the mirror shows me true
Once or twice before I even made it to your door
But I knew nothing I could do could ever make it up to you
I cheated on you once before you took me back.
Now a thousand promises would somehow lack
So goodbye maybe all that I can say
But I owe that to you face to face today

So I’m waiting for the Wyalong West bus to come
Hoping for the nerve to do what must be done
I’ve come this way before
I even made it to your door
But I knew nothing I could do could ever make it up to you

But wait my head is straight
It’s not too late
I’ll take the bus I’ll go for us
‘Cos I know you’re the only one

And I’m riding for the Wyalong West bus tonight
The driver smiles he knows we’re gonna work out right
Yes I’ve come this way before
But I’ll walk straight to your door and say::
“Forgive a fool!
“This time I’m coming home to stay”

I cheated on you before
That won’t happen anymore
‘Cos I know you’re the only one

And I’m riding for the Wyalong West bus tonight
The driver smiles he knows we’re gonna work out right

I’ve come this way before
This time I’ll walk straight to your door
And I’ll say,
“Forgive a fool!
“You’re the only one.
“This time I’m coming home to stay”

Riding on the Wyalong West bus tonight
Riding on the Wyalong West bus tonight
