This Heart Machinery - Piano Magic

Outside your house, 1993

I think I left some essential part of me

I try to trace my steps back

I try to play the playback

But when I see your face, I cannot breathe

And I can’t figure out this heart machinery

Sometimes it stops for days and really worries me

And I can’t form the words and often I can’t speak

And when I hear your voice, I have to leave

And there’s an actress in a film who looks like you

And I can’t watch that film the whole way through

I’d like to call you up

I’d like to get me straight but

10 years on, it’s just too late

The saddest photograph, a splinter in my heart

Is one of you and me, right at the very start

And I can’t recognise the person next to you

The mirror fogs

It breaks in two
