I was thinking about someone I'd had a long relationship with, way back in the past, when I wrote this song, and how we'd both react if we were to meet again by chance

Heart In Need


The strain no longer showing
on your face
The weariness and tension
have had a fall from grace
Oh it's good to see you well
That you made it back from hell
I'm sorry if I didn't read
How you had a heart in need.


When we lose
we're apt to get it wrong
Confused about who is
or who isn't strong
Oh it's good to see you smile
I haven't seen that in a while
I'm sorry if I didn't read
How you had a heart in need.


Chorus
So let's indulge in the memories
Which are sweeter than the tragedies
Of all that time ago
Of all that time ago
Another glass and we'll walk away
To the different worlds where
we'll have to stay
The different worlds that we now know
The different worlds that we now know.


All this time
and the scars no longer show
Communicating, well,
it takes some letting go
Oh it's good to see somehow
That it's easy to talk now
I'm sorry if I didn't read
How you had a heart in need


Instrumental break and chorus
