SAVE
A PLACE FOR ME
(Tracy
Chapman)
Save a place for me
Save a space for me
In your heart
In your heart
Save a place for me
Save a space for me
In your heart
In your heart
If you wait - I will come
for you
If you wait - I will come
for you
If you wait - I will come
for you
If you wait
If you wait
If you wait
If you wait - I will come
for you
If you wait - I will come
for you
If you wait - I will come
for you
If you wait
If you wait
If you wait
Save a place for me
Save a space for me. |
REMEMBER
THE TINMAN
(Tracy
Chapman)
There are locks on the doors
And chains stretched across
all the entries to the inside
There's a gate and a fence
And bars to protect from
only God knows what lurks outside
Who stole your heart left
you with a space
That no one and nothing
can fill
Who stole your heart who
took it away
Knowing that without it
you can't live
Who took away the part so
essential to the whole
Left you a hollow body
Skin and bone
What robber what thief who
stole your heart and the key
Who stole your heart
The smile from your face
The innocence the light
from your eyes
Who stole your heart or
did you give it away
And if so then when and
why
Who took away the part so
essential to the whole
Left you a hollow body
Skin and bone
What robber what thief
Who stole your heart and
the key
Now all sentiment is gone
Now you have no trust in
no one
Who stole your heart
Did you know but forget
the method and moment in time
Was it a trickster using
mirrors and sleight of hand
A strong elixir or a potion
that you drank
Who hurt your heart
Bruised it in a place
That no one and nothing
can heal
You've gone to wizards,
princes and magic men
You've gone to witches,
the good the bad the indifferent
But still all sentiment
is gone
But still you have no trust
in no one
If you can tear down the
walls
Throw your armor away remove
all roadblocks barricades
If you can forget there
are bandits and dragons to slay
And don't forget that you
defend an empty space
And remember the tinman
Found he had what he thought
he lacked
Remember the tinman
Go find your hear and take
it back
Who stole your heart
Maybe no one can say
One day you will find it
I pray. |
