don't speak of my heart

Gerry Rafferty

Donââ?¬â?¢t speak of my heart, it hurts too much -- hurts to touch
Iââ?¬â?¢m writing the book each and every day
Take a look at my face, I still need -- I still bleed
Iââ?¬â?¢ve been running on empty since you went away.

The spirit world looks down on us
Sad that weââ?¬â?¢re apart
So please donââ?¬â?¢t speak of my heart.

Whenever we talk she says hang on -- just hang on
Meanwhile Iââ?¬â?¢m drowning in the pouring rain
And each time we meet thereââ?¬â?¢s a sad farewell -- sad farewell
She tells me someday Iââ?¬â?¢m gonna love again.

The way that she walked out on me
Still tears me apart
So please donââ?¬â?¢t speak of my heart.

Every dayââ?¬â?¢s an endless maze of dreams that fade and die
No one believed we were saying ââ?¬Ë?Goodbyeââ?¬â?¢
And every night I think of you Iââ?¬â?¢m still left wondering why
I canââ?¬â?¢t believe that weââ?¬â?¢re saying goodbye.

And when I wake up in the morning
And wonder where Iââ?¬â?¢m going to
It all came without a warning
Whatââ?¬â?¢s a man supposed to do?

Donââ?¬â?¢t let your heart break down
Donââ?¬â?¢t let your heart break down.

Donââ?¬â?¢t speak of my heart, it hurts too much -- it hurts to touch
Iââ?¬â?¢m writing the book each and every day
Take a look at my face, I still need -- I still bleed
Iââ?¬â?¢ve been running on empty since you went away.

The spirit world looks down on us,
Sad that weââ?¬â?¢re apart
Donââ?¬â?¢t wanna talk about it -- donââ?¬â?¢t make me think about it
So please donââ?¬â?¢t speak of my heart.
