Strings of the Heart / ストリングス オブ ザ ハート

[Intro] Mmm… Another sleepless night… Another shadow in the rain… [Verse 1] I saw the silence in your eyes tonight Like faded pictures losing light The words we used to softly say Were drifting farther day by day I touched the darkness in your soul somehow But I could never reach you now So I played these aching chords alone Like a man without a home [Chorus 1] And I let my heartstrings cry Through the cold and endless night Every note became a prayer Floating broken through the air I played a lonely blues refrain Wrapped around my tears and pain Since your love slipped out of sight There’s no morning after night [Verse 2] The candle burned beside the windowpane While thunder whispered through the rain Your memory moved across the room Like perfume fading far too soon I heard the echo of your distant name But nothing ever sounds the same Every shadow on the wall Feels like watching heaven fall [Chorus 2] And I let my heartstrings cry Through the dark and stormy sky Every chord became a plea For the love that set me free I played a slow blue melody Like a wounded symphony Since your love was swallowed whole Only darkness fills my soul [Bridge] Still somewhere beyond the gray Maybe love survives this pain Maybe someday light will shine Across this broken heart of mine [emotional guitar solo section] [Final Chorus] So I let my heartstrings cry Till the stars all said goodbye Every note still calls your name Though the fire became a flame I played the blues for one last time With these trembling hands of mine Since your love drifted from sight The dawn may never reach the night [Outro] Mmm… The night goes on… And these strings still sing for you…
