"Heart of Sorrow" offers up a swampy, soulful bluegrass tempo number for this album. In life we lose and our hearts get broken, which brings us to the blues. It's all just part of the rocky process of being human
Lyrics
WISH I COULD STAY
BUT I HAVE NO CHOICE
OUR SONGS HAVE BEEN SUNG
THIS LOVE HAS NO VOICE
HOPE AND DESIRE BOTH HAD THEIR CHANCE
NOW THEY'RE LONG GONE
NO LOOKIN' BACK
TO THE GARDEN OF LOVE
WE'VE FALLEN FROM GRACE
OUR PARADISE LOST
BRIDGES ARE BURNING. IT'S HIGH TIME
THAT I-- WAS LONG GONE
HEART OF SORROW
YOU’VE HAD YOUR WAY, BUT THIS TIME TOMORROW
OUR DREAMS WILL BE DUST
AND I'LL BE LONG GONE
MEMORIES AND MOONS
FLY THRU THE SKY
THEY'VE ALL DISAPPEARED
LIKE THE STARS IN YOUR EYES
NOTHING IS WORSE THAN THE CURSE OF A LOVE
THAT IS LONG GONE
BRIDGE
I WILL LAY THIS BURDEN DOWN
I WILL WEEP NO MORE
WITH YOUR LOVE BEHIND ME NOW
THERE’S A DISTANT SHORE….
