Tom Verlaine
O Foolish Heart
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..."
