Lyrics Robin Trower – The Playful Heart

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 playful heart
The playful heart
The playful heart
The playful heart
The playful heart
The playful heart
