Broken Heart

The autumn trees don't move me anymore
Not like they did when I had you
Those yellow leaves used to fall for me
Just like I fell for you
Now the morning sun climbs up in the East
It won't shine on these hills though
I sorely miss those glorious days
When it rose up from your pillow

And I miss those times you stood by me
And those times I stood by you
If we'd of had a mind to take on the world
There's not a thing this world could do
But beside that rock, there grew a flower
That I swear I never saw
Sometimes a heart must break apart
If it's to open up at all

I found your tracks on a wandering path
Just a cold stream there to guide you
I didn't hear you cry or say goodbye
Or I'd have been right there beside you
So you bought your fare on that riverboat
And you waited on the starboard
I should have walked you there and touched your hair
I should have waved goodbye from the harbor

But the calloused hands of a man like me
Can't feel the silky things
And tears that fall on a rainy day
Are carried off by mountain streams
But if you come back I swear that I
Won't remain that foolish man
For a broken heart is an open heart
And you will never close it again
