Big Country - Hold The Heart lyrics

The sun beats hard on an empty beach where I tried so hard But couldn't reach the stars in your eyes You were just a child when I came to you and we were friends 'Till love stepped in, and you stepped away I would lie and curse the day And visit places where we lay alone And find them turned to stone Because you hold the heart of someone new I'll take a chance on time Hold out here for something true Standing out of line But I would wait a hundred years to hear you say my name The way you did before he came, the way you will again I fell apart and you came to me I never can explain how much it turned me round Much more than upside down Because you hold the heart of someone new I'll take a chance on time Hold out here for something true Standing out of line But I would wait a hundred years to hear you say my name The way you did before he came, the way you will again And I love the sun, and I need the rain And I know the way that you left me was only to test me And I was vain And I will be strong And I will be warm And I will let no one come near me until you will hear me Just once again And time will wear a mountain down And make a lover of the clown who laughed too long And colored you wrong Now I hold the heart of someone new I'll take a chance on time Hold out here for something true Standing out of line But I would wait a hundred years to hear you say my name The way you did before he came, the way you will again But I would wait a hundred years to hear you say my name The way you did before he came, the way you will again
