Sidewalk Story
Every family has a story
And ours is cast in stone
In the corner of the sidewalk
Just a few feet from the home
Where we once made love
With the hopes
To find forever
But now it's gone to hell
Our sidewalk story speaks to me
Calling out in disbelief
The dated old reminders
Of yesterday
Two hands of people once in love
Who decided that they'd both give up
Now I see the painful path
That it has paved
Signed and dated with a heart
Is the love that's
Since fell apart
The only one that's weathered all our storms
Like a funeral it has long since died
Caught up in a marriage pyre
And like her eyes
It's not the only thing that's poured
Our sidewalk story speaks to me
Calling out in disbelief
The dated old reminders
Of yesterday
Two hands of people once in love
Who decided that they'd both give up
And I see the painful path
That it has paved
Now a for sale sign
Hides the stone
And the grass has all
But overgrown
The story in the sidewalk
Of our once so happy home
There's a story in the sidewalk
Of so many broken homes
