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 Knowin' there's no use denying I can't stop thinking 'bout us 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 I tried to resist But the images keep coming through So many years Still I'm defenceless The house by the lake His hands restin' a while on the oars Speaking with quiet conviction Carefully unlocking doors 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 Did he see me? (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 giving 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 Story of a heart, a story all of it mine Then you took it from me, every glorious line (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 (hadn't dried) Swept away and lost in love, what was I to do? (Was I to do?) I just had to read it to you My story 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
