HEARTLESS

 

I have done my share of research, I’ve got a 20-year degree

On the subject of a woman and man

But when you told me your name, through the smoke and the flame

I didn’t notice my heart in your hands

 

Now I’m blind dumb and deaf, ever since my heart left

It took one look at you and broke free

You got my pride to its knees and I sure hope you’re pleased

That your shadow looks so much like me

 

          It’s getting hard to stand up, you keep bowling me over

          You’ve given me a new point of view

          And no matter where I go you are all I seem to know

          And every one of my heartbeats reminds me of you

          Are you feeling what I’m feeling too?

 

I have never been heartless until I met you

And if it bothers you I sure understand

But if you’d open your mind and close your eyes

I could be the most beautiful man

 

Now my wayfaring mind may not be designed

Just to follow the same old routine

But I’d sure like to know how did your trip go

When you moved here from out of my dream?

 

          It’s getting hard to stand up, you keep bowling me over

          Have you got nothing better to do?                                          

          And no matter where I’ll be you are all that I can see

          Even this hole here beside me looks just like you.         

          Are you feeling what I’m feeling too?
