Lyrics

How can you be so heartless,
when you’ve had a heart so long
Perhaps somehow it needs repair,
so you can start to carry on

There is no way I can bring him back,
can’t undo what has been done
So I try to fill her emptiness,
give her winter years a little fun

It’s the heart that keeps us all ticking,
it’s the soul that knows you well
T’is the spirit that is so hard to break,
but from your eyes it’s hard to tell

The good book says that
calm assurance,
can and always will prevail
Over chaotic anxiety,
cut only cloth you need for to sail

Jealousy will eat you up,
bitterness will strip you bare
Take a long slow look inside o’ you,
at the fears that hide in there

Someone dear to me was so profound, said the bigger man steppeth down
Well I am just an ordinary man,
but all the same, I won’t stick around

It’s the heart that keeps us all ticking,
it’s the soul that knows you well
T’is the spirit that is so hard to break,
but from the eyes it’s hard to tell

It may not be just heartlessness,
so come along, bring it on into the sun.
It's been so long out in that wilderness, with what to you, you feel’s been done

It’s the heart that keeps us all ticking,
it’s the soul that knows you well
T’is the spirit that is so hard to break,
but from your eyes it’s hard to tell.
