Heart Strings

 

Where have you been to lady of mine?

And where are you goin’ little lady so fine?

Please never leave me lonesome and cryin’.

Let me hold your Heart Strings.  Your holdin’ mine.   

Let me hold your Heart Strings.  Your holdin’ mine.

                               

I spent some time in the Phoenix town jail

‘Til my lady from Tucson come posted my bail.

She came to save me, take me on home.

She swore that she loved me, she’d never leave me alone.

Swore that she loved me, she’d never leave me alone.

                                  

But the songs of our spirits drifted apart.

We loved with our heads instead of our hearts.

I woke one morning on a cold and cloudy day

I found that my lady had drifted away,

Found that my lady had drifted away.

   

So take care little darlin’ how you handle my heart.

It’s kinda fragile.  You might break it apart.

Don’t lay down beside me and tell me you care

If you only miss me when nobody’s there.

If you only miss me when no one else is there.

           

Now my loneliness finds me dreamin’ again

About the people that I’ve known and the places I’ve been

And the winds of the old days blow through my hair

And the songs of the prophets just drift through the air.

I hear the songs of the prophets as they drift through the air.

 

So where have you been to lady of mine?

And where are you goin’ little lady so fine?

Please never leave me lonesome and cryin’.

Let me hold your Heart Strings.  Your holdin’ mine.   

Let me hold your Heart Strings.  Your holdin’ mine.
