My Heart That Tired Old Thing

from I May Rail and I May Whine by Dane Terry

/

lyrics

I'm a jangly old song on the wires tonight
A crooked old bird with whiskey for wings
And guiding me home through the fog and the foam is
My heart that tired old thing

I feel like a building without any beams
I traded all my stitching in spite of my seams

The doctors say I'm fine as strawberry wine
But the thump in my chest is as faint as could be
They asked what it was, I said it's because of
My heart that tired old thing

I know that sometimes I spill it all on the floor
But i just don't trust good feelings no more

I'm a jangly old song on the wires tonight
And if you'll just carry me home you can have what you see
A head full of wine, an S for a spine and
My heart that tired old thing

If you're thinking of leaving well don't go just yet
I can do a great impersonation of a bee with no sting
I could give you my love, courtesy of
My heart that tired old thing
Oh my heart that tired old thing
