Story of a Heart

It must have been him Just a glimpse of a face in the crowd That's all it takes My heart is racing I stand in a trance As I stare at the back of a bus Knowing there's no use denying I can't stop thinking about us The story of a heart The story all of it mine Then you took it from me Every glorious line I was safe and warm And now I'm out in the cold And I know I shouldn't have told my story Story of a heart I laid myself open wide Yet to read the pages Where the ink hadn't dried All emotions pent up inside, my story I try to resist But the images keep coming through So many years Still I'm defenceless The house by the lake His hands resting a while on the oars Speaking with quiet conviction Carefully unlocking doors The story of a heart The story all of it mine Then you took it from me Every glorious line I was safe and warm And now I'm out in the cold And I know I shouldn't have told my story Story of a heart I laid myself open wide Yet to read the pages Where the ink hadn't dried All emotions pent up inside, my story Did he see me Or did I just imagine it all Putting a face on a stranger A face I find more and more hard to recall Never given up I look for you everywhere Time went by and sadness took the place of despair In a way you'll stay with me 'til death do us part Like a shadow deep in my heart forever The story of a heart I laid myself open wide Yet to read the pages Where the ink hadn't dried Swept away and lost in love what was I to do I just had to read it to you, my story. The story of a heart A story all of it mine Then you took it from me Every glorious line I was safe and warm And now I'm out in the cold And I know I shouldn't have told my story Story of a heart I laid myself open wide Yet to read the pages Where the ink hadn't dried All emotions pent up inside, my story
