3. Taciturn Heart
By Judy Banker

1.
I didn’t tell you I can’t go on anymore
I didn’t tell you I’m deserting the war
Without looking back
Keeping track
Of who was right and who was wrong
And the truth is I didn’t tell
Cuz I’m not feeling that strong

2.
Oh I can hear ‘em now those words you’ll be saying
And I can hum the tune I know that you’ll sing
You’ll be looking back
Keeping track
Of who was right and who was wrong
And the truth is I’m too tired to care
And it feels so damn good to be gone

Ch:
It’s a hard hard lesson to learn
When you love a heart that’s grown taciturn
You can’t try enough cry enough
To get that cold heart to burn

3.
I memorized the legend of your pain
You recited to me again and again
Always looking back
Keeping track
Of who was right and who was wrong
And the truth is I finally understand
You’ve been running with your ghosts all along

4.
When the last leaf falls
Hits the ground once and for all
There’s no looking back
Keeping track
There’s no right or wrong
And the truth is that’s the way it goes
And the world keeps spinning around



Chorus:
It’s a hard hard lesson to learn
When you love a heart that’s grown taciturn
You can’t try enough cry enough
To get that cold heart to burn


Outro:
You can’t plead enough Bleed enough
Hide enough Swallow your pride enough
Grow enough Stoop low enough
Be good enough Do what you should enough
Pretend enough Transcend enough
Be true enough Don’t come unglued enough
You can’t take enough Or break enough
To get that cold heart to burn (3 x)
