And so I told you right from the start I cannot hold you to a change of heart There are things I could never say Too young, too old to try to change our ways I'm not the person I care to be Always waiting on bended knee For a change of heart How well we travel these outer parts Yet cannot fathom these depths of dark And I would never be alone today If the piper didn't ask his pay And if that piping didn't drive the dance Always waiting for the chance For a change of heart There's only one way to be alone And you must learn this on your own It's not the reason that brings you home It's not the season for what we've sown And that flowering I could not share Cold earth and sunlight you would not dare For a change of heart And 'round this old house the wind it whines With a knocking keeping time It's not the first time, it's not the last It's not that springtime covers up the past And I told you right from the start Sometimes forever just falls apart For a change of heart
