Helpless Heart

(album: True For You - 1983)

I'm sitting here inside this stranger's place
And time is racing by
I've been way out here for a month or more
Tonight I'm wondering why
You try to understand the things that I feel
Maybe this time I'll find a way to explain it

There is a dream, deep inside my head
And it may seem like it's breaking the thread
That holds me to you
Still you have never wanted to change me
But darling I know, though we're far apart
The signal is strong
This helpless heart will always belong to you
To you, only to you, no one but you

This power takes me from the place I belong
To where only the strong get through
You got to keep on believing or you lose your way
It slips right out of view
Though there are days the light can flicker and fade
Here in this place tonight a fire is burning
...
