Don't Speak Of My Heart - Gerry Rafferty

Don’t speak of my heart, it hurts too much -- hurts to touch

I’m writing the book each and every day

Take a look at my face, I still need -- I still bleed

I’ve been running on empty since you went away.

The spirit world looks down on us Sad that we’re apart

So please don’t speak of my heart.

Whenever we talk she says hang on -- just hang on Meanwhile I’m drowning in the pouring rain

And each time we meet there’s a sad farewell -- sad farewell

She tells me someday I’m gonna love again.

The way that she walked out on me Still tears me apart

So please don’t speak of my heart.

Every day’s an endless maze of dreams that fade and die

No one believed we were saying Ђ?Goodbye'

And every night I think of you I’m still left wondering why

I can’t believe that we’re saying goodbye.

And when I wake up in the morning

And wonder where I’m going to It all came without a warning

What’s a man supposed to do?

Don’t let your heart break down

Don’t let your heart break down.

Don’t speak of my heart, it hurts too much -- it hurts to touch

I’m writing the book each and every day

Take a look at my face, I still need -- I still bleed

I’ve been running on empty since you went away.

The spirit world looks down on us,

Sad that we’re apart

Don’t wanna talk about it -- don’t make me think about it So please don’t speak of my heart.
