Valentine (h.o.m.)

Let the horses run
You're deserting me
Catch the thread-bare strains
Of departing trains
Bound for the last goodbyes
Yet thought you'd think you'd know

You're sure you did your care
She was always there
For you to kick around
But now she's let you down
Now she's gone to stay
With the frost and pray
If God could hear her prayers
Would he care?

Valentine, heart of mine
Come and ease my worried mind
It's plain to see
I'm not so free
Valentine, heart of mine

And from a window
You spy her ghost
Laughing ground
And taking notes

It seemed to so easy
To put it down
And leave the wreckage
For someone else Valentine, heart of mine
Take this blood
This broken vine
It's plain to see
I ain't so free
Valentine, heart of mine

You smell her hair
Everywhere you go
You see her lips
Where you're leaving notes

Oh, Valentine
She's never 'round
Leaves you cold to
Have and hold

Valentine, heart of mine
Come and ease my worried mind
It's plain to see
I'm not so free
Valentine, heart of mine.
