lyrics

I, when I asked about your mind and the things you'd left behind
I thought I told you slowly
You didn't know quite what to do
Didn't have a word to say
But I guessed that anyway.

When you look into her eyes you'll turn to skin and bone
Her heart is gone

Because a heart's too heavy when it's made of stone
So she keeps it on her sleeve and carries it around
In case she ever needs a visual prop for a tale of all the men who've done her wrong

When you put me on the bench, gave me time to repent
I prayed it to be over
I walked a mile down to the sea
You said "Oh gracious me, are we just growing older?"

When you look into her eyes you turn to skin and bone
Her heart is gone

Because a heart's too heavy when it's made of stone
So she keeps it on her sleeve and carries it around
In case she ever needs a visual prop for a tale of all the men who've done her wrong

She likes whisky and cigarettes
And I like rum and thunder cats
She likes Sundays in the park
And I like driving after dark
I'm not into dancing
And she don't do romancing
I tried to do my moves but I think I failed
Tried to keep up with the crowd but it turned me pale, oh no

When you look into her eyes you turn to skin and bone
Her heart is gone

Because a heart's too heavy when it's made of stone
So she keeps it on her sleeve and carries it around
In case she ever needs a visual prop for a tale of all the men who've done her wrong.
