Shy Hearts

There are hearts that wait forever

Always too late or too soon

And they never lose their innocence

And never chance the moon

And when every life is crazy

And everywhere runs dry

And every moon is just a stone drifting in the sky

That's when you wanna hold them

So they don't fall apart

Shy hearts

Not like any other hearts you know

Tell me where do they go

With their shy hearts?

Caught in a room with the world in view

Has it ever happened to you

In your shy heart?

They are lost in the distance

Between romance and regret

Where it's hard to be forgiven

And it's harder to forget

And when memories are frozen

Something begins to fade

That's when you wanna take them

To where the tenderness starts

Shy hearts

Not like any other hearts you know

Tell me where do they go

With their shy hearts?

Caught in a room with the world in view

Has it ever happened to you

In the shelter of a doorway a lover waits

For someone who never arrives

And the wind will show no mercy

As the chill comes down around

Tell me how can a heart like that survive?

How can a heart like that survive?

That's when you wanna hold them

So they don't fall apart

Shy hearts

Not like any other hearts you know

Tell me where do they go

With their shy hearts? (shy hearts)

Caught in a room with the world in view

Has it ever happened to you

In your shy heart? (shy hearts)

Oh (shy hearts)

Everybody knows a shy heart (shy hearts)

Tell me where do they go

With their, (shy hearts), shy hearts

Shy hearts (shy hearts)

Ooh-ooh, ooh, shy hearts (shy hearts)
