Lyrics The Wailin' Jennys

The Wailin' Jennys

This Heart Of Mine

If all is fair in love and war

I haven't seen the score

But it can't be either of those

And all this time, thought I was in control

But fate she held her own

Even when I thought I chose

Now the coldest day of winter

Has made a home of my heart

It burns a cold right through me

Tearing me apart

When did I lose you?

It feels like such a crime

When did I lose all

The reasons for this rhyme

So many questions burning

In this heart of mine

A thousand memories

Of when and where

Four walls and a rocking chair

Our story sticking to my skin

A dusty wind

Blows through this broken frame

Echoes of your name

Shadows fall and night pours in

Now the coldest day of winter

Has made a home of a heart

Says it plans to stay forever

Just like you did at the start

When did I lose you?

It feels like such a crime

When did I lose all

The reasons for this rhyme

So many questions burning

In this heart of mine

Now the coldest day of winter

Is here and here to stay

And it burns a cold right through me

'Round the heart you threw away

When did I lose you?

It feels like such a crime

When did I lose all

The reasons for this rhyme

So many questions burning

In this heart of mine
