The Playful Heart - Robin Trower

It’s a darkened train

It’s a lifeless eye

No reason now to explain

The long goodbye

Stepped into the spotlight

Believed in every part

The world could not fulfill

The playful heart

It’s an empty room

A forbidden place

The attitude to assume

Without her face

Not lying down or falling

The breathing will not start

The world could not fulfill

The playful heart

Taught myself to hold on

To words of human warmth

Emotions you have sold on

Without thought

Praying to be bolder

You took me further down

Every touch bewildered

More unknown

It’s the hidden door

In the garden wall

The hidden door we all know

Is not there at all

The lock that has no key

Keeps the two apart

The world could not fulfill

The playful heart

The playful heart

The playful heart

The playful heart

The playful heart

The playful heart

The playful heart

The playful heart

The playful heart
