Helpless Heart     (Paul Brady)


I'm sitting in here inside the strangest place
and time is racing by
I've been way out here for a month or more
Tonight I'm wondering why

You try to understand the things that I feel
Maybe this time I'll find a way to explain it
And there was a dream deep inside my head
It only seemed like it's breaking the thread
that holds me on you
Still you have never wanted to change me

But darlin'I know
Though we're far apart
The signal is strong
This helpless heart will always belong to you

Only to you
Noone but you

This power takes me from the place I belong
to where only the strong get through
You've got to keep on believing or you'll lose your way
It slips right out on you

Though there are days the light can flicker or fade
Here in this place tonight a fire is burning
'Cause there was a dream deep inside my head
It olnly seemed like it's breaking the thread
that holds me on to you
Still you have never wanted to change me

But believe I know
Though we're far apart
The signal is strong
This helpless heart will always belong to you
