Patterson Barrett: Words & Music
Back In My Heart
(Patterson Barrett)
How can walking ‘round blind put you back in my heart
Learning to see is the hardest part
I know that you’re here somewhere
But I can’t feel a thing no matter how I stare
How can walking ‘round blind
Put you back in my heart again
One time, one chance, one heart in your hands
One day, it all comes crashing down
Where were you when she needed you
Surely there was something you could do
Now I’ve cried all my tears and my crying is through
And I can’t see the light anymore
How can walking ‘round blind put you back in my heart
Learning to see is the hardest part
I know that you’re here somewhere
But I can’t feel a thing no matter how I stare
How can walking ‘round blind
Put you back in my heart again
One day, one man, alone and confused, here I stand
One question occupies my mind
Her blood on her own hands
How can this be a part of any master plan
Now you’re asking me to believe again
Well I don’t know if I can
How can walking ‘round blind put you back in my heart
Learning to see is the hardest part
I know that you’re here somewhere
But I can’t feel a thing no matter how I stare
How can walking ‘round blind
Put you back in my heart again
Some day, somehow, we’ll talk, but not now
My heart is cold, my words just frozen pain
Maybe death takes a turn today
But I just have to turn away
And a thousand tears won’t wash away
This shadow on my soul
How can walking ‘round blind put you back in my heart
Learning to see is the hardest part
I know that you’re here somewhere
But I can’t feel a thing no matter how I stare
How can walking ‘round blind
Put you back in my heart again
