Troubled Heart
Words and music by Richard S. Grossman
To all the mad musicians, artists, lovers and dreamers who have suffered from the pangs of restless and seemingly endless yearning for what, you do not know — this one’s for you.
It’s always darkest at night, but you are not alone. In the light of day, peace, strength of heart and clarity of mind awaits.
Heart of mine, kept inside this hollow chest
Caught up in the emptiness
Lost in time, beating to the rhythm of
The yearning for a tender love
I just want to know, if I’ll ever get control
Of feeling like it’s so hard to breathe
I need to see a sign, that this restless heart of mine
Will find a peaceful release
Is there anyone before the morning comes
Who can save me from these fits and starts
Close this open wound or I fear it will consume
The chambers of my troubled heart
Thoughts be still, things I can’t believe are said
By voices locked inside my head
Strength of will, capacity to clearly see
Through this veil that covers me
I can hardly breathe, I’m down on bended knees
Begging for my soul to keep
There’s so little time, for this restless heart of mine
To wake from this mortal sleep
I believe, in matters of the heart we cannot fall apart
So I will weave a safety net of love and hang it up above my heart
