Shy Hearts

(album: I Can Dream About You - 1984)

There are hearts that wait forever
Always too late or too soon
And they never lose their innocence
And never chance the moon

And when every life is crazy
And everywhere runs dry
And every moon is just a stone drifting in the sky
That's when you wanna hold them
So they don't fall apart

Shy hearts
Not like any other hearts you know
Tell me where do they go
With their shy hearts?
Caught in a room with the world in view
Has it ever happened to you
In your shy heart?

They are lost in the distance
Between romance and regret
Where it's hard to be forgiven
And it's harder to forget

And when memories are frozen
Something begins to fade
That's when you wanna take them
To where the tenderness starts

Shy hearts
Not like any other hearts you know
Tell me where do they go
With their shy hearts?
Caught in a room with the world in view
Has it ever happened to you

In the shelter of a doorway a lover waits
For someone who never arrives
And the wind will show no mercy
As the chill comes down around
Tell me how can a heart like that survive?
How can a heart like that survive?

That's when you wanna hold them
So they don't fall apart

Shy hearts
Not like any other hearts you know
Tell me where do they go
With their shy hearts? (shy hearts)
Caught in a room with the world in view
Has it ever happened to you
In your shy heart? (shy hearts)
Oh (shy hearts)
Everybody knows a shy heart (shy hearts)
Tell me where do they go
With their, (shy hearts), shy hearts
Shy hearts (shy hearts)
Ooh-ooh, ooh, shy hearts (shy hearts)
