Hang Out Your Heart


There’s a freezing rain warning, gale-force winds forecast
I need shelter until the morning or until this weather is past
Hang out your little heart for me
Hang out your little heart for me

There’re no curtains on your windows, no pictures on your walls
No comfort in naked shadows, no warmth when evening falls
Hang out your little heart for me
Hang out your little heart for me

There’s a slow train on the sidetrack
And a diesel on the main
Green light says I’m going
Red light says I’m staying
Maybe we can ride that train to somewhere
All the way down the line
I don’t need a reason for thinking of leaving
‘Cause I’m all messed up and crying
All messed up and crying

There’s a low cloud in your garden
That the sun can’t burn off today
Do I have to beg for your pardon
Why do you treat me this way?

Hang out your little heart for me
Hang out your little heart for me
