When She Hides Behind Her Heart

[couchgrouch]

When She Hides Behind Her HeartShe thought love would never desert hernow she fears others may hurt hersomeday perhaps she'll feel braverbut till then she thinks she's saferwhen she hides behind her heartwhen she hides behind her heartshe's letting the loss of a loverkeep her from the kiss of anotherfor it's not just shadows behind herwho feel sorry they can't find herwhen she hides behind her heartwhen she hides behind her heartshe feels she doesn't belong, and there's no sadder songin the mystery of the darkthan the whisper of her cry, the sound of a women's sighwhen she hides behind her heartshe's still soft and sentimentalso I'll be patient and gentleI'll grow close enough to feel heron that sweet night I'll reveal herwhen she hides behind her heartwhen she hides behind her heart(c)2004 Robert George
