Forgive My Heart
King Crimson · Other Songs - King Crimson
My foolish heart it won't believe we're through
Forgive my heart
You're still a part of everything i do
Forgive my lips
If now and then
They speak your name
If you are still
My only thrill
Am i to blame
Forgive my dreams
In all my dreams it seems your face appears
Forgive my eyes
I realize i'm only wasting tears
Don't know why you haunt me
But you do
Forgive my heart
I'm still in love with you
Forgive My Heart
