Heartache

(orbison/dees)

1968 version



Tonight at midnight you came by

I shook my head, tried not to cry

Halfway weeping, halfway sleeping

Tossing, turning, trembling, burning

Here it comes, heartache



You wore your hair down

I love it that way

You reached out and touched me

And then you faded away



It's unreal, the way I feel

It's almost dawn and you are gone

Here it comes, heartache



Heartache of heartache

Deeper than blue

Teardrop on teardrop

I'm still in love with you



What a way to start a day

Here it comes, heartache over you

Heartache for you

Everytime you walk through my mind

I get that old heartache



1974 version



At night I try not to cry

Each tomorrow brings more sorrow

All the time you're on my mind

My heart just aches, it almost breaks

It's almost dawn, heartache



I know it's over

But I don't know why

You reached out and touched me

And then you said goodbye



Oh it's unreal, the way I feel

It's almost dawn the night's too long

My dream is gone

I'm all alone with heartache



Heartache of heartache

Deeper than blue

Teardrop on teardrop

I'm still in love with you



Oh, what a way to start a day

Heartaches today like yesterday

Here comes the sun

No place to run from heart
