Hear What The Heart Has To Say

So you say you're always tired
And your legs have lost their spring
There's only so many ways to break your own heart
And still have something left
I knew you who you were the moment
I heard you close your eyes and sing
You need to leave us behind for your home
But there's one thing you should do first

Mix the wine in the bowl
And hear what the heart has to say

If you won't take this woman
Who looks at you with kindness in her eyes
Who moves through the fair
Life in her step and a beauty not yet touched
Then what awaits you must surely be worth
Soaking your clothes in tears
Come join us on the dance floor tonight
Sometimes that's what you need

Mix the wine in the bowl
And hear what the heart has to say

Tomorrow I hope you will let
The rosy fingers of dawn awake you
There's a boy who needs his dad
And a woman who awaits as well
It's hard to watch you blindly
Moving through the fog of war
But tonight honeyed wine is fine
To slip it from your mind

Mix the wine in the bowl
And hear what the heart has to say
