having been by that old bank tower i m inclined to wonder why you feel so strong you can t have really seen the hour if you think she s trying to do you wrong i see you got that lump in your throat i hear you mumbling that s all she wrote love is in the next room drinking antidote you ought to know that girl by now she ll never settle down anyhow you let your heart go too fast you let your heart go too fast broken glass turns back to flint and sand i only cease to love as love demands as you know it takes a while to clap those fragments from your idle hands couple months could dry a sea of tears leave only salt beneath our dried up piers we won t believe we cared i swear in a couple years you ought to know that girl by now she ll never settle down anyhow you let your heart go too fast you let your heart go too fast if time heals all wounds don t you know that time also deals them the days go by and everybody feels them we struggle with our fates but our action only seals them they say that murder ain t the fault of the weapon i m smoking sad to be the gun i want to blow you all away but i don t want to put no bullets into anyone i see the feathers that infringe your heart i see the blood ooze from around the dart cupid spites the sense that keeps two mismatched souls apart you ought to know that girl by now she ll never settle down anyhow you let your heart go too fast you let your heart go too fast you ought to know that girl by now she ll never turn you down anyhow you let your heart go too fast you let your heart go too fast you let your heart go too fast you let your heart go too fast you let your heart go too fast you let your heart go too fast
