For My Heart's Sake

(album: Colour All My Days - 1986)

With music playing softly and lights burning low
It's easy to ask for a dance
And we stray a little further to walk in the dark
Feeling the sweatest romance

[Chorus:]
But when I look into my memory
Then I loose all my nerve
Something always gets in the way
A closer look into my memory
And then the voice will be heard
There was pain once before
So I have to be sure
For my heart's sake

It's natural occurrence when love has gone wrong
To build up your wall of defence
So I watch you through my barrier hoping to find
A person who holds no pretence

[Chorus]

Voices are saying possible doubt
Gently debating, checking you out
Need a decision unfortunately
It's better to be safe then sorry

[Chorus repeat and fade]
