Lover Lyrics

from "Heartland", 1980, EMI Records Group 


Well the glow from the bars and a
   thousand stars
Light the cold Ohio night
And the Turnpike's slick, the
   snow's as thick as thieves
Since your call came through there
   ain't nothing new
But the radio and the headlights
And the news at the top of the hour
That no one really believes,
   do they

(CHORUS:)
Lover...what you want to go and do
   that for
Lover...why'd you want to tear it
   apart
Lover...you say you got your
   reasons, but I need more
Lover...give me back my heart
Give it back, girl

When the cold comes to stay it
   takes your breath away
And it makes the hours crawl
And it feels to me like I've been
   driving forever
Then your words return, the whole
   place burns
And I just don't know where to
   begin
Girl could you just make it
   anybody else
Anybody else but him, could you

(CHORUS)

BRIDGE:
And somewhere ahead tonight
With fine wine and candlelight
He's gonna turn your head around
Girl what you want me to do
If I leave this thing all up to you
I'm gonna lose the best thing I've
   found
I can see what's going down

So I talk to the night, I head for
   the light
Try and hold it on the road
Thank God for the man who put
   the white lines
On the highway
Baby what you gonna do when the
   fire is through
And you find he's out looking for
   somebody new
Cause you did everything that he
   wanted you to do
And now you're all alone and
   crying, aren't you...

(CHORUS)
