lyrics

All hail broken hearts over bridges
Troubled water whistles down below
And while the water wistfully sings
For your melancholy company
You too, in time, will let her go

All hail the heart that’s wanting again
Running like she’s never fallen down
If the wind draws you near
You’d be better to steer clear
If you happen to see her around town

But oh, pretty persuasion
Oh, pretty persuasion
I won’t find myself giving in
No, I won’t find myself giving in
But I’m sure I’ve just imagined it

All hail hungry hearts for freedom
And hallelujah for the grace that I’ve been given
My vessel leads the thought
Singing “Loving’s What I Got”
So this is what it means to be living

And all hail the heart that wanting again
Running like she’s never scraped her knees
If the wind draws you near
You’d be better to steer clear
You’d be better, you’d better to steer clear
Of the breeze
You’d better steer clear
You better steer clear
You better steer clear of the breeze
That’s coming over me
You better steer clear
You better steer clear
You better steer clear
Of the breeze that’s coming over me

All hail broken hearts over bridges
Troubled water whistles down below
And while the water wistfully sings
For my melancholy company
I too, in time, will let her go
