In my heart there’s a room where you linger Soft shoulders where I go to cry The a crack in a dark shuttered window And a tree where the nightingales die.
A sliver of fading moonlight falls soft on a valley of green. My heart wants to drown in your pure light In a place where true loves never been
I want to light up your faded parlors If you look you will find me there I will be wearing a coat of forever A rose growing wild in my hair.
But you fade in a darkened barroom. Where men go to die of the blues. All I bring you are two dozen teardrops To pour on your soul to bloom.
