hold the heart

Lyrics

the sun beats hard on an empty beach where i tried so hard, but couldn't reach the stars in your eyes, you were just a child when i came to you and we were friends, 'till love stepped in, and you stepped away, i would lie and curse the day, and visit places where we lay alone, and find them turned to stone, because you hold the heart of someone new, i'll take a chance on time, hold out here for something true, standing out of line, but i would wait a hundred years to hear you say my name, the way you did before he came, the way you will again, i fell apart and you came to me, i never can explain how much it turned me round, much more than upside down, because you hold the heart of someone new, i'll take a chance on time, hold out here for something true, standing out of line, but i would wait a hundred years to hear you say my name, the way you did before he came, the way you will again, and i love the sun, and i need the rain, and i know the way that you left me was only to test me, and i was vain, and i will be strong, and i will be warm, and i will let no one come near me until you will hear me, just once again, and time will wear a mountain down, and make a lover of the clown who laughed too long, and colored you wrong, now i hold the heart of someone new, i'll take a chance on time, hold out here for something true, standing out of line, but i would wait a hundred years to hear you say my name, the way you did before he came, the way you will again, but i would wait a hundred years to hear you say my name, the way you did before he came, the way you will again
