Broken Hearts and Bonfire Nights

[Verse] Out by the river, where the willows weep, We gather our sorrows in the cold night's keep. With a bottle of whiskey and hearts on the mend, We light up the night, hoping it will end. [Verse 2] She left me in the dust with dreams in her wake, Took off with the wind, my heart she did stake. Round this fire, the embers glow bright, Her memory haunts me in the silence of night. [Chorus] Oh, broken hearts and bonfire nights, Whiskey burns, and the music's right. Women come and women go, In this country song, the heartache flows. [Verse 3] Larry strums his old guitar, fingers dance on strings, The notes of our pain, in harmony it sings. Dancing shadows whisper, tales of love gone cold, In this circle of rust, broken stories unfold. [Verse 4] Sarah's eyes are teary, she holds a glass so tight, She's been through the wringer, another endless fight. 'Neath the open skies, healing seems so far, But the music lifts us, even with the scars. [Chorus] Oh, broken hearts and bonfire nights, Whiskey burns, and the music's right. Women come and women go, In this country song, the heartache flows.
