"Jack Of Hearts" lyrics - ROY HARPER

ROY HARPER
"Jack Of Hearts"

I dream of a girl
The sweetest reflection of earth
Uncluttered by chains of demands of a world
That leaves her restless as the sky
Wandering and wondering why
And she travels alone
Towards me across the unknown
And just for a moment I believe she's the one
To keep my lips in overdrive
Consuming me I burn alive
Any time she needs me
I'll be by her side
Just as long as she can help me
To stem the flowing tide
The Jack of Hearts
He stole the tarts
He stole them away
On a long summer day
No woman is safe
No woman is safe within reach
No woman is safe within reach of my heart
And though she'd maybe never tell you so
She'd sure be living with a man apart
But any time she needs me
I'll be by her side
Just as long as she can help me
To stem the following tide
No woman is safe
No woman is safe within reach
No woman is safe within reach of my heart
