Hearts

The heart stops on a dime

Not enough room for all the sorrow

Words are not enough

But they are the limit of your charity

A shared furtive nod

Let out the line but don't cut bait

When the muzzle report catches up

Your look betrays us all

Break the suit, dump your heart

Or take the trick face down

If I can't win I'll make sure you lose

I'm the man on the grassy knoll

This is the time when you hold someone

Look at them and tell them it's alright

This is the time when you hold someone

Look at them and tell them a lie, lie
