In every heart is a room… a sanctuary safe and strong… to heal the words from lover past until a new one comes along…

I spoke to you in cautious tones; you answered me with no pretense…

And still I feel I said too much: my silence is my self defense

And every time I’ve felt a rose I only felt the thorns

And so it goes and so it goes, and so will you soon I suppose

But if my silence made you leave, then that would be my worst mistake

So I will share this room with you, and you can have this hearth to break

And this is why my eyes are closed; it’s just as well for all I’ve seen

And so it goes and so it goes, and you are the only one who knows

So I would choose be with you, that’s if the choice were mine to make…

but you can make decisions too, and you can have this hearth to break

And so it goes and so it goes, and you are the only one who knows
