Heartless Sorrow

I felt heartless sorrow From the start, even without shedding a tear There’s no tomorrow So, have some heart…have a heart of no fear This heartless winter, winter It’s getting colder… I feel like a thumb’s splinter… I’m getting bolder… I’m looking closer to the edge with a frown Towards the edge of a breakdown…breakdown… This heartless sorrow is going round town It gives me some tears to shed deep down This heartless sorrow Gives me no tomorrow, But gives me today to borrow Happiness Though sadness Is a yesterday’s notion You’re my one and only devotion I felt heartless sorrow I want to come back home, back home, back home There’s no tomorrow So, haven’t you a heart? Looks like you don’t, my garden gnome This heartless winter, winter It’s getting colder… I feel like a thumb’s splinter… I’m getting bolder… I’m looking closer to the edge with a frown Towards the edge of a breakdown…breakdown… This heartless sorrow is going round town It gives me some tears to shed deep down This heartless sorrow Gives me no tomorrow, But gives me today to borrow Happiness Though sadness Is a yesterday’s notion You’re my one and only devotion I felt heartless sorrow There’s no tomorrow, But there’s a yesterday’s tomorrow To look forward to To look forward to… Only you and I will know what to do When the time comes, so true I love you…I love you… Tearless for yesterday’s tomorrow — This is true…this is true If only I wouldn’t feel this sorrow…this sorrow…
