The Heart Knows Better
David Sylvian
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
