Shattered inside and scattered around
Were pieces of her broken heart
I gathered her up, the pieces I found
I put her back together like a busted guitar
But osme glue holds and some glue don't In spite of everything I tried
Somebody's stole my darlin'
Right before my very eyes
He didn't walk, talk or push his way in
Or fly through the windows on a gust of hot wind
He didn't sprout wings
And he sure wasn't playin' no harp
As low as he was, I couldn't see him
Slitherin' around in the dark
He must've crawled through
A little bitty crack in her heart
Copin' with hone and hoping i'm wrong
But I sure see a definite change
There's look in her eyes that's sayin' goodbye
And her snuggle when I hold her don't feel the same
You would picture him dark and tall
But the feller that stole my darlin'
Lord, he'd have to be very small
He didn't walk, talk or push his way in
Or fly through the windows on a gust of hot wind
He didn't sprout wings
And he sure wasn't playin' no harp
As low as he was, I couldn't see him
Slitherin' around in the dark
He must've crawled through
A little bitty crack in her heart
As low as he was, I couldn't see him
Slitherin' around in the dark
He must've crawled through
A little bitty crack in her heart
Lord, he must've craweled through
A little bitty crack in her heart

I walk in the rain and whistle a tune
I talk to the man up there in the moon
I know I may sound like somebody gone insane
I'm a fool about you baby but my heart can't explain
It's a little left of center
By heavenly design
Love gets carried away
And goes wild at times
When cupid aims his arrow
It's right on the mark
A little left of center
Just like my crazy heart
It leaps like a frog when you touch my hand
It means like a drum in a marching band
Can't help what it does I just follow where it leads
How my heart feels about you baby makes perfect sense to me
It's a little left of center
By heavenly design
And goes wild at times
When cupid aims his arrow
It's right on the mark
A little left of center
Just like my crazy heart
When cupid aims his arrow
It's right on the mark
A little left of center
Just like my crazy heart

I was supposed to be the rock that you could stand on
Stronger than an old oak tree
But all you ever wanted was the one thing
I never let you see -
The tender side of me
I tried to be a mountain, solid and strong
All it took was your leaving to know I was wrong
A man ain't made of stone
A man ain't made of steel
The way I feel right now
I thought I'd never feel
Sometimes all it takes
Is facing the night alone
And that's when you know
A man ain't made of stone
In this world of mine
There was no room for weakness
I covered every crack in the wall
But there ain't no way that I can keep this secret
You thought I wouldn't shatter
Would I even care?
But there's more to what I'm made of
Than this broken heart can bare
A man ain't made of stone
A man ain't made of steel
The way I feel right now
I thought I'd never feel
Sometimes all it takes
Is facing the night alone
And that's when you know
A man ain't made of stone
Sometimes all it takes
Is facing the night alone
And that's when you know
A man ain't made of stone
That's when you know
A man ain't made of stone

My father's father was the wisest man I ever knew
Sixty years of education
Seven years of school
Farming kept his body strong
At night the only books he owned
Kepted his mind sharp as a tack
The family bible and the farmer's almanac
When to plant
When to havest
How you weed just what you sow
When to look for rain and who to turn to when it don't
There was a plan for defrost
Salvation for the lost
Words to live and die by front to back
The family bible and the farmer's almanac
One came from his mother
Handed down the day she died
The co-op sent the other
Every year at christmastime
Knew Paul and Peter by first name
He could answer any question he was asked
With the family bible and the farmer's almanac
When to plant
When to havest
How you weed just what you sow
When to look for rain and who to turn to when it don't
There was a plan for defrost
Salvation for the lost
Words to live and die by front to back
The family bible and the farmer's almanac
He knew the way to get
Through this life to the next
While others spoke of faith
He found the facts
In the family bible and the farmer's almanac
The family bible and the farmer's almanac

This ole heart of mine
Is now showing signs
From the wear and tear of times
You have taken it and crushed it
Then came close to throwing it away
Holding on to someone who don't love the same way that you do
Always hits right where it hurts
It's a heartache in the works
Looking through my tears
It's hard to see you care
when I know that you don't hear
When I lie away beside you
And cry til I see the light of day
Holding on to someone who don't love the same way that you do
Always hits right where it hurts
It's a heartache in the works
It's hard to keep surviving
When love is slowly dying
Holding on to someone who don't love the same way that you do
Always hits right where it hurts
It's a heartache in the works
Holding on to someone who don't love the same way that you do
Always hits right where it hurts
It's a heartache in the works
It's a heartache in the works

I know a man we call him poor boy Jones
He's never been a 100 miles from home
He's got a pretty good farm
And a level head
A heart of gold
No satelite dish for his TV set
And he ain't on lie with the internet
He says guitar music entertains us here
and it sounds real good to the untrained ear
And I can't find a rason to echange
More of this and more of that
Has never been my game
The way I've got it figured out
I ain't missed a thing
And I can't find a reason to change
Some people like to fly around first class
But a greyhound bus goes pretty dang fast
Been a while lot of times when time were lean
He says all my children believe in god
They can hold their own
They can hold a job
There's a whole lot of color in the human race
And loving one another makes a better place
And I can't find a rason to echange
More of this and more of that
Has never been my game
The way I've got it figured out
I ain't missed a thing
And I can't find a reason to change
No, I can't find a reason to change

Ever want to runaway?
Ever want to leave?
Never want to hang around?
Never want to grieve?
If love turned into labor
I would just resign
Working through the hard times never crossed my mind
And I'm guity of entering and breaking hearts so dear
Guilty of unlawful flight and failing to appear
I've commited all the crimes of love - every felony
Now, I have but once defense - to plead insanity
Where can I surrender?
I'm tired of being free
I want love to come and make a prisioner out of me
Lock me in your velvet cell and throw away the key
Events have come full circle now
I spend my nights alone
Where love was once so full and free
Love had up and gone
Sweet love my way again
I'll die before I run away
And be the fool I've been
Where can I surrender?
I'm tired of being free
I want love to come and make a prisioner out of me
Lock me in your velvet cell and throw away the key
Lock me in your velvet cell and throw away the key

Politicians, collections
Unionism, opposition
Activism, communism
Skepticism, new vision, down with the old tradition
Vandalism, terrorism
Amunision, demolision
Darwonism, religion
A lot of people making caastrophoic predictions
But I'll be right here loving you
Come what may I know this much is true
As long as this world's spinning like it's supposed to do
I'll be right here loving you
Computerized, organised
Downsize, enterprise
Idolize, criticize
Demoralize, sympathize, talk sweet and tellin lies
Economics, electronics
Saving whales, crowed jails
America On-Line, e'mail
But I'll be right here loving you
Come what may I know this much is true
As long as this world's spinning like it's supposed to do
I'll be right here loving you
Ecology, technology
Energy, psycology
Evolution, revolution
Everybody's trying to find a new solution
But I'll be right here loving you
Come what may I know this much is true
As long as this world's spinning like it's supposed to do
I'll be right here loving you
As long as this world's spinning like it's supposed to do
I'll be right here loving you

It was just like every other morning
The sun was shining
It was storming
They had words over breakfast
And he said something reckless
Just a solitary slip of the tonge
Another woman's name and it was done
Once you've heard the truth
Stared it in the face
Once you've got the proof
There ain't no hiding place
It's like thunder crashing down
Or a freight train running through you
No, you won't forget the sound
Once you've heard the truth
She threw her wedding ring
And it rolled across the floor
She didn't say a thing
But he heard that slamming door
Once you've heard the truth
Stared it in the face
Once you've got the proof
There ain't no hiding place
It's like thunder crashing down
Or a freight train running through you
Oh, you won't forget the sound
Once you've heard the truth
No, you won't forget the sound
Once you've heard the truth
It was just like every other morning
The sun was shining
It was storming

In a heart like mine
With a steady beat
Just the right rythm makes you feel complete
And the rythm's right with you and I
And love starts pounding in a heart like mine
Put a quart or two
With a melody
Bring in a little chillbump harmony
Then let it build
Til the feelings right
And love starts playing in heart like mine
In a heart like mine
In a love like this
There's a sympony in a single kiss
Bring on the fiddles and the violins
And listen to the way they shine
I could live on the music til the end of time
With a love like yours and a heart like mine
Thre's poetry
In truth, emotion and honesty
So when the soul is there
And the words all rhyme
Love starts singing in a heart like mine
In a heart like mine
In a love like this
There's a sympony in a single kiss
Bring on the fiddles and the violins
And listen to the way they shine
I could live on the music til the end of time
With a love like yours and a heart like mine
In a heart like mine
In a love like this
There's a sympony in a single kiss
Bring on the fiddles and the violins
And listen to the way they shine
I could live on the music til the end of time
With a love like yours and a heart like mine
I could live on the music til the end of time
With a love like yours and a heart like mine

Cold house
Just before dawn
Oh my God
This feels so wrong
Clouds roll in
And cover the sun
A new day begins
Day one
Day one
And it already feels like forever
It's over and done
So what can I do?
Day one
Of putting my life back together
Day one
Of learning to live without you
Gold ring
There on the bed
Oh my God
No place to hide
No where to run
Just dying inside
Day one
Day one
And it already feels like forever
It's over and done
So what can I do?
Day one
Of putting my life back together
Day one
Of learning to live without you
Day one
Of learning to live without you
. . .

The sign said Synonara in the Japanese restaurant
The billboard said "There's No Tomorrow" in the Christ Church parking lot
The laundry mat said, "You're All Washed Up"
How can I disagree?
And the street sign
Did everyone know but me?
She must have gone
To a lot of trouble
I got the truth
Right betweent he eyes
Don't know how she found the time
But between her door and mine
Was a thirteen mile goodbye
Now this can't be paranoia
It's just coincidence
At the Palace Theatre on the corner's playing
"Gone With The Wind"
And there's one more grim reminder
Every twenty feet
This is a dead end street?
She must have gone
To a lot of trouble
I got the truth
Right betweent he eyes
Don't know how she found the time
But between her door and mine
Was a thirteen mile goodbye
I see the Y in the YMCA
I've been asking myself that all day
She put a closed sign on every door
Just to proved the point if I wasn't sure
She must have gone
To a lot of trouble
I got the truth
Right betweent he eyes
Don't know how she found the time
But between her door and mine
Was a thirteen mile goodbye
