My Heart On Your Back

Stephan Eicher · Non Ci Badar, Guarda E Passa... [1994]

When we first met, I thought you are a girl

Who grabs my heart and runs away

But carefully you asked what makes you feel so low

I can take it away - just let go



You took my heart, put it on your back

You walked away - now you bring it back

This isn't my heart, didn't look like this

A broken toy is what I miss ?



Invent me a face, find me a name

Leave a trace, before you leave again

So hear my song and remember this

When you're gone, only my heart I miss



You took my heart, put it on your back

You walked away - now you bring it back

This isn't my heart, didn't look like this

A broken toy is what I miss ?



If you still got a memory could you lend it to me

For just one day and just one night

I don't want to turn this planet around

Just want to write what I missed down



You took my heart, put it on your back

You walked away - now you bring it back

This isn't my heart, didn't look like this

A broken toy, is it what I miss ?
