Oh, tell me, can't you tell How my heart does swell I've been dreaming of you all night long But no word my heart sings Does justice to these things And it's hard to write a love song I've been carving your name In empty picture frames While this fire in my chest slowly burns You've been so far away But my purest heart remains Patient in line for your return Oh, tell me, can't you tell How my heart does swell I've been dreaming of you all night long But no word my heart sings Does justice to these things And it's hard to write a love song I've been out on that road My heart blanketed in snow Sometimes this February love feels so cold While you're home in your nest Escaping winter's breath And the middle of your bed must be getting old Oh, tell me, can't you tell How my heart does swell I've been dreaming of you all night long But no word my heart sings Does justice to these things And it's hard to write a love song Yes, it's so hard to write a love song
