Smokie — No Rest for the Wounded Heart

Seems it came without a warning Now heartaches knocking at your door And this cold familiar stranger Makes himself at home once more So you climb onto that midnight train And buy a one-way ticket From your sorrow and pain There’s just no escape When you run out of faith And hope has locked that door You say love is a lair A thief in the house of my dreams Too many promises, too much pride Now you carry your anger Like a thorn in your side And there’s… No rest for the wounded heart You build your castles Then you tear them apart Better run for cover The sky’s turnin’ dark There’s no rest, no rest For the wounded heart Seems those city lights they blind you In your search for love’s embrace And ain’t it funny how it finds you How you turn and walk way You say love is a lair A thief in the house of my dreams There’s just too many memories, too much pain Now love lies naked in the pouring rain And there’s… No rest for the wounded heart You build your castles Then you tear them apart Better run for cover The sky’s turnin’ dark There’s no rest, no rest For the wounded heart Now baby I know just how hopeless it seems But it’s never too late to try ‘Cause you might end up at the end of your life Find out that you’ve been living a lie Now the summer’s but a memory As the wind blows cold and strong And it’s a God forsaken season That last your whole life long And there’s… No rest for the wounded heart You build your castles Then you tear them apart Better run for cover The sky’s turnin’ dark There’s no rest, no rest For the wounded heart No rest for the wounded heart You build your castles Then you tear them apart Better run for cover The sky’s turnin’ dark There’s no rest, no rest For the wounded heart No rest for the wounded heart You build your castles Then you tear them apart Better run for cover The sky’s turnin’ dark There’s no rest, no rest For the wounded heart No rest for the wounded heart You build your castles Then you tear them apart Better run for cover The sky’s turnin’ dark There’s no rest, no rest For the wounded heart
