You Can Only Go Where Your Heart Leads

You Can Only Go Where Your Heart Leads

By Matt Purland

She calls me up to tell me she's leaving
I ask if it's in a hurry but she says she isn't grieving
And that sometimes when you're suffering
And which way don't like no way, you can only go where your heart
leads

It's a mystery that I for one can stand and watch and see her go
But when she smiled and shook her head I felt like anything but
low
And when we met last Saturday, after the last train had gone,
I got down on my knees and asked for her to stay
I said, "You can only go where your heart leads"

And somewhere through the hazy coffee smoke she spoke
I heard her voice but no noise broke the chill
We agreed to meet after the fourth of July
And I got a pretty good picture of how the land was lying
Because she was crying

Summertime brought a new perspective on the way that I felt
She was calling me but it did not feel real
I heard a warning bell, but well, all she did was dispel my fears, and
all my tears
She said, "You can only go where your heart leads,
And you can only go where your heart feels".
