Story Of A Heart

(album: Golden Days - 2017)

This is my story
A story of a heart
And all of it mine

It must have been him
Just a glimpse of a face in the crowd
That's all it takes
My heart is racing
I stand in a trance
As I stare at the back of a bus
Knowing there's no use denying
I can't stop thinking about us

The story of a heart
The story all of it mine
And you took it from me
Every glorious line
I was safe and warm
And now I'm out in the cold
And I know I shouldn't have told my story

I try to resist
But the images keep coming through
So many years
Still I'm defenceless

The house by the lake
His hands resting a while on the oars
Speaking with quiet conviction
Carefully unlocking doors

Story of a heart
I laid myself open wide
Let to read the pages
Where the ink hadn't dried
All emotions pent up inside, my story

Did he see me
Or did I just imagine it all
Putting a face on a stranger
A face I find more and more hard to recall

Never given up
I look for you everywhere
Time went by and sadness took the place of despair
In a way you'll stay with me 'til death do us part
Like a shadow deep in my heart forever

(The story of a heart
The story all of it mine)
It's a story of a heart
(And you took it from me
Every glorious line)
A story of a heart
(I was safe and warm
And now I'm out in the cold)
I'm giving it back
(And I know I shouldn't have told my story)

The story of a heart
I laid myself open wide
Let to read the pages
Where the ink hadn't dried
Swept away and lost in love what was I to do
I just had to read it to you, my story

A story of a heart
And all of it mine

Now you've heard my story
