'TIL YOUR HEART GOT IN THE WAY words & music: bill mallonee
admin BMI published by "Once More, This Time With Feeling" music c.2022

There's no secrets that will keep
and yours? They drew me in
to a circle way to deep
I wonder sometimes if it's better
to not look before you leap?

I was wrecked up on the guardrail
God knows i was stormed tossed
how do galaxies collide?
How do stars get all crossed
I've proffered alibis
ah, but none of them will wash

Chorus:
You said: "Baby, i was doing just fine; No really i was OK.
I had my path to walk and I had my prayers to pray
Till your heart got in the way...Till your heart got in the way..."

I've was lost & I was lonely
but still delivering of course
with guitar & song with 6-string drag
Sometimes a critics choice
but every night I checked my heart
I could barely feel a pulse

Now loneliness & doubt
can sometimes have a face
to those who recognize it
in each other's embrace
and embrace a kind of song
I knew each and every line by heart,
but I sang my parts all wrong
