MUSIC was my first love [12] Mystery Cache

"Heaven only knows just why

loving you should make me cry,

make me feel like I could die,

that's the way it goes.

Heaven only ever sees,

how love's made a fool of me.

I guess that's how it's meant to be

but heaven_only knows."

[EMMYLOU HARRIS, 1989]

Every night it's the same,
I feel your heart turn cold as rain.
And know that you'll be gone again,
I hear the front door close.
You say you got to go downtown,
I guess there's someone else you've found.
So why you're still coming round
heaven only knows.

I've heard it said that talk is cheap,
but still your words they cut so deep.
Lay me crying in my sleep,
and the pain just grows.
I don't know who's right or wrong,
but all we had is dead and gone.
So why you keep me hanging on
heaven only knows.

I'm going to turn and walk away.
There's nothing left for me to say.
It wouldn't change things anyway,
though I suppose,
the love I gave was always true.
Till I don't know what else to do,
and how I'll ever get over you
heaven only knows.
