The Heart Is The Hunter

(album: Just Another Day In Paradise - 1982)

Come to me now
Won't you rest your life for a while?
Girl, this is not your style
Maybe it's not your way

The tears behind your smile
Your trembling mouth, so fragile
With the fears of a frightened child
You've tangled up your day

The heart is the hunter
The heart is the dove
And as it lets the arrow fly
It wounds itself in love

The heart is the hunter
And it will capture the light again
Then it's gonna learn to let it out
Learn to let it in

You flew toward the sun
Touching down on everyone
You tried them on just for fun
You dared yourself to fool

You can hide your eyes right here
I see the bruises and I see the fear
Let it go, don't hide the tears
'Cause I'm gonna love you most of all

The heart is the hunter
The heart is the dove
And as it lets the arrow fly
It wounds itself in love

The heart is the hunter
And it will capture the light again
Then it's gonna learn to let it out
Learn to let it in
