The Heart Knows Better

I don't know how long

She's been here with me

But it's been a long time coming

Make it last forever

Make it last forever

Yes, it's been a long time coming

There's a name for this one

There's a name for that

Call me by my true name

I'll call you back

But I've no intention of seeking you out

And the mind's divisive

But the heart knows better-ha

Better-ha

And every night is wedding night in my bed

My eyes are closed but I can see

The sky stretched overhead

The mattress on the floor

A sea of faces at my door

And every night is wedding night and I'm set

And the mind's divisive

But the heart knows better-ha

Better-ha

When she whispered in my ear

What did she say?

She put her hand hard on my chest

What did she say?

Oh, but nothing really matters in the end

And if everything still matters what then?

And the air is humid and my face is wet

And the driver's much too drunk too see

But she's sitting in my place

Devastating beauty in my place

And I'm absent from the place I ought to be

And the mind's divisive

But the heart knows better-ha

Ha-ha-ha
