Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The wind carries us home
Tin cans, recycled air, and the minstrels' roam
Reunite body and mind
The walls left broken and crumbling
Well, oh, what did you expect?
Gone for seasons at a time
[Verse 2]
I closed my eyes to dream
Woken to have only lost the spring
To bags, cases, and hearts on our sleeves
We held them high so we could watch them bleed
Held them high so you could watch them bleed
Held them high so they could watch them bleed
[Verse 3]
And I wear my heart on my sleeve
So you can watch it bleed
And I wear my heart on my sleeve
So you can watch it bleed
Watch it bleed
Watch it bleed
[Verse 4]
From up here the land, a patchwork quilt
Sewn together by arthritic hands
Pursuit of passion, persistent guilt
Anxious for loving embrace
Dissolve this ache I've felt
Dissolve this ache I've felt
[Verse 5]
How could you have looked and seen anything but compassion?
Left to watch alone
Jealous of false attentions
You felt it in my touch, you tasted it in my kiss
And still, darling, you screamed, my affections were passionless
Despite every example of devotion
Every memory made
[Verse 6]
You still succumbed to boredom
You let the pictures fade
You let the pictures fade
You let the pictures fade
[Verse 7]
And I wear my heart on my sleeve
So you can watch it bleed
Watch it bleed
Watch it bleed
[Verse 8]
And I wear my heart on my sleeve
So you can watch it bleed
Watch it bleed
Ohh
[Verse 9]
And I wear my heart on my sleeve
So you can watch it bleed
Watch it bleed
Watch it bleed
