(Warren Zevon)



When I was young

The sky was filled with stars

I watched them burn out one by one

I've had my share

Of disappointing love affairs

And I'm no stranger to disillusionment

Little darlin'

If you need a helping hand

If you need someone

You can count on me

And I will understand



CHORUS

Heartache spoken here

I know a thing or two about heartbreak and tears

So come on down, we'll talk about it

Heartache spoken here

Heartache spoken here

I know a thing or two about heartbreak and tears

So come on down, we'll talk about it

Heartache spoken here



A house of cards

A castle made of sand

Don't take much to blow away

Rows and rows

Of broken hearts and broken homes

so much sadness, you see it every day

Litt darlin'

If you need a helping hanad

If you need someone

You can count on me

And I will understand



CHORUS



I know it hurts so

When the one you love don't need you

I now the sorrow

That a reckless heart can lead to



CHORUS
