Dear Heart

dear heart, don't be shy
dear heart, i'll find you by and by
i'll park outside your door
dear heart beat for me
dear heart beneath the shaded tree
who could ask for more

daybreak i'm headed south
big words from a braggart's mouth
don't bother trying to find me
i'll be back around here someday

dear heart, don't break for me
i'm gonna need you soon, you'll see
like it was before

hailstorms and matadors
i look down, my shoes are worn
try to apologize
but words won't come, they hide in my eyes

dear heart, we'll meet again
in some cafe along the seine
just like it was before

daybreak i'm headed south
with trumpets and drums, no doubt
rag tagged circus clowns
will trail behind with upside down frowns

dear heart, don't break for me
i'm gonna need you soon you'll see
like it was before
