(hugh prestwood)
I believe Ive attempted every move that I know
I was sure that by now youd have let yourself go
Ive been living my heart out, and without any shame
Gotten down on my knees just to kindle this flam
But tonight I am down to the wire
Ive been striking these matches in vain
Got a whole lt of smoke but no fire
cause you got a heart full of rain
Now somewhere in your history theres a reason or two
Why you wont let a body get close to you
Why the truth that I whisper always sounds like a lie
Why youre drowning inside from the tears you dont cry
But your eyes have never been dryer
And you smile like youre felling no pain
Got a whole lot of smoke but no fire
cause you got a heart full of rain
I had hoped I could open the heart that you hide
cause it sure needs a little sunshine inside
But tonight I am down to the wire
Ive been striking these matches in vain
Got a whole lot of smoke but no fire
cause you got a heart full of rain
