St. Valentine's Day

(album: A Different Kind Of Weather - 1990)

Now we broke up on valentine's day
Been coming for a long long time
Give what you can and then you take it away
Save it for St. Valentine
And I turned
And I saw the door was open wide
I could go anywhere I choose
And I saw freedom
Take a walk outside
All down St. Valentine's day
All along St. Valentine's day

And as the sun going down begins
Living in a winter that was more like spring
Waiting for the greenhouse to set in
Living in a winter that was more like spring
And I saw the ghosts
Of lovers present and past
As I walked down the road
I saw the pieces of their broken hearts
All along St. Valentine's day
All down St. Valentine's day

So if you've got a heart that breaking in two
Or a love that's hard to find
Or if you've got a heart that's never been used
Save it for St. Valentine

Or you'll wish you'd tried to stop it before it began
And wasted your precious time
You'll wish you'd tried to stop it like the tears that ran
All down St. Valentine's day
All along St. Valentine's day
