lyrics

I met you on a bus
From L.A. to San Francisco
And you smiled there when you saw me
And you came and sat right by me

We didn't have much money
So we rolled along the beaches
And we travelled home by thumb-line
'Cause you found you had a baby

What were the chances? (x3)
What were the chances of that?

We were together in our past lives
Later I lost you and fell into my deep despair
I travelled to escape and you caught me all over again

I met you on a bus
From L.A. to San Francisco
And you smiled there when you saw me
And you came and sat right by me

We had ten months together
When the smiles they wouldn't stop
And we went out there to Fiji
And we married on the beaches
As the sun set low around us
And the waves they rolled ashore

We had ten months together (xa few)
We had ten months together and the smiles and the miles and the aisles and the child
The smiles and the miles and the isles and the child (x8)

We moved into your dream house
And you had your dream job
And I wasn't unhappy
But sun!
But light!
And the moon!
At night!
And the darkness closes in...

I left and took a bus
From L.A. to San Francisco
And he cried there as I left you
But we neither of us helped it

The change it had to come then
But we knew it wasn't over
You thought that I would come back to you
Be your slave again
He thought that I was gone forever
Though he'd tried to stop it
He couldn't come out with me
Though I gave him enough money
He wanted to be with me
'Cause you wouldn't even listen

I didn't have much money
So I rolled along the beaches
And as I lay there dying then
A young voice came behind me and said
You left me by a bus
From L.A. to San Francisco
I was your only first-born son
But still you didn't want me
And now that you are leaving us
I've come out here to find you
It's never really worth it
I'll have to catch my bus
It's due in forty minutes
San Francisco to L.A.
