TOM VERLAINE lyrics - O Foolish Heart

(Verlaine)



Watching the curtains tremble,

Time trickling away,

On a bright and freezing afternoon.

I remember oh so well

The sweetness in your voice,

When you said I belong to you,

Honey I do.



You know I gotta say to myself,

"O foolish heart, silly thing,

You hear any old tune and you sing,

You sing..."



Seasons pass...

It's so quiet, I hear the raindrops

Splashing on the leaves

Somehow it brings your face to mine.

And the tapping of a branch

On my window pane,

Somehow it's ravaging my sense of time,

My sense of time...



I gotta say to myself,

"O foolish heart, silly thing,

You hear any old tune and you sing,

You sing..."

I say to myself,

"O foolish heart, crazy thing,

You hear any old tune and you sing,

You sing..."



My foolish heart



You know I tell myself,

"O foolish heart, silly thing,

You hear any old tune and you sing,

You sing..."

I say to myself,

"O foolish heart, crazy thing,

You hear any old tune and you sing,

You sing..."
