Message on His Heart
words & music: Dan Hall & Bobby Pennock
He climbs the walls to look around
And then decides to tear them down
She watches careful not to make a sound
He buries pieces, she turns around
She draws a message on his heart — then whispers “goodbye”
Such are the vestiges of Art — She tells herself “Don’t cry…”
He reads the words of their desire
Then throws the pages on the fire
She brushes ashes from her face
He tries to leave but leaves a trace
She draws a message on his heart — then whispers “goodbye”
Such are the vestiges of Art — She tells herself “Don’t cry…”
Don’t cry about the loss — Don’t cry about the pain
Don’t cry about the leaving
Release the albatross — release the choking chain
Release the guilt — start breathing
He shouts an oath into the sky
Then wipes the tears he cannot cry
She hears his curse but doesn’t turn
He’s all alone with all he’s burned
She drew a message on his heart — then whispered “goodbye”
Such are the vestiges of Art — She tells herself “Don’t cry…”
