Hearin' My Heart Talkin'

(album: Hurry Sundown - 1977)

Well, I almost called you this evening
Just to say things aren't what they seem
But a one-night stand wound up stealing
Every one of my dreams
Now it's three a.m. in the morning
And a woman's best be at home
I'm afraid the sun's gonna catch me now
On a street all alone

Now I'm hearing my heart talking
Saying that I'm foolish just to keep walking away
I thought that I could forget you
But I keep on day after day
Hearing my heart talking
Hearing my heart talking
Every time I'm thinking of you

All the big time plans I was sure of
Left me standing here in the dawn
As the sidewalk pools at the streetlight
Well, I need it all
Well, I try my best not to wonder
If you've still been thinking of me
But you fill my mind like an old song
Bittersweet melody

Now I'm hearing my heart talking
Saying that I'm foolish just to keep walking away
I thought that I could forget you
But I keep on day after day
Hearing my heart talking
Hearing my heart talking
I'm hearing my heart talking
Every time I'm thinking of you

O-oh, I can't escape this feeling
When the night starts turning to day

Now I'm hearing my heart talking
Saying that I'm foolish just to keep walking away
I thought that I could forget you
But I keep on day after day
Hearing my heart talking
Hearing my heart talking
I'm hearing my heart talking
Every time I'm thinking of you

Now I'm hearing my heart talking
Every time I'm thinking of you

Woah, I'm hearing my heart talking
Every time I'm thinking of you
