Weary Heart Surgery
I watch the shadows dancing
Ballerinas on a stage
They tiptoe over inkblots
All across each sacred page.
In the darkness of the night
I read the words you've scribbled here
And I wonder if it'd feel the same
If you were close enough to hear.
To hear the way I cry for you
To hear me say your name
To hear the prayers I whisper
When it's driving me insane.
Cause you can patch a weary heart together
With scissors, thread and glue
But the surgery won't last forever
Not for me and you.
Oh I long for one more tender smile
On kiss to bring you home
When I open up my eyes, however
I am all alone.
In my mind I see the day you left
And all the tears we cried
Your promise to come home to me
Before my eyes have dried.
I imagine all we had together
And what we could have still
But love is not a simple dream
To be conquered by pure will.
Oh all the faith I have to give
The blindfold, leap and all
In your hands I've placed myself
So catch me as I fall.
'Cause you can patch a weary heart together
With scissors, tread and glue
But the surgery won't last forever
Not for me and you
Oh, how I long for one more tender smile
One kiss to bring me home
When I open up my eyes, however
I am still alone.
And these tears run down my pale cheeks
like whispers in my ear
But some letters on a torn out page
Can't chase away the fear.
'Cause you can patch a weary heart together,
With scissors, thread and glue
but the surgery won't last forever
not for me and you
Oh I long for one more tender smile
One kiss to bring us home
When you open up your eyes, however
Know you're not alone.
