heart's desire
My heart is on fire.
It’s got the desire
To have her inside of me.
She don’t understand
The lay of my land
Or even the lines on my hand
That point to her heart
Especially the part
That has the spelling of my name.
To her it’s a game
With no one to blame
That never had a finish or a start.
What can I do?
I’ve tried to get through.
I’ve tried playing every part.
Is it time for the end
To part once again
Or to begin the start?
One thing’s for sure
I know I’ll endure
I was born to play this game
In spite of the pain
In spite of the shame
In spite of the double cross.
It’s far too much loss
If I simply toss
All that we have away.
I know if I try
I know if I buy
I know I can get her to stay.
She’d finally see
That what makes me free
Are her chains inside of me.
And she’d finally see
That what makes her free
Are her chains inside of me.
