Glass Heart

from In The Skin Of A Man by Tony Farris

/

lyrics

Found her in the garden
Running from the rain
Running from the storm
And the man she's sworn
Hiding in the leaves
Beneath that shade giving branch
Reaching for the rope
To pull her from this loveless trench

(Chorus)
Take this glass heart
watch it break and fall
And watch it shatter
as you throw it against the wall
And take these road worn shoes
With their soul full of blues
And leave this shadow washed room
Forget it all

Found her in the courtroom
on her hands and knees
The begging in her screams
Just pleading to be set free
Tied down by her regrets and her shame
Burned out on hope
No more playing of the game

(Chorus)

Broken is the lock
That held our little girl back
Oh, now chased by the hounds and the guards
And the faint distant yells
surely the sounds of a living hell
Scattered among her broken life's shards

(Chorus)
