Head And Heart

There's just no way to say how much I love you,
You never made me cry
And that's just fine.
Only got my fear,
To put above you;
You know we all get scared from time to time.

Love me with your head and heart;
Love me from the place it starts.
Love me from your head and heart;
Love me like a child.

There's just no way to play the things I'm feeling;
No way to tell you all the things you mean.
Everyday I only feel like stealing,
Away to where I know I can be clean.

Love me with your head and heart;
Love me from the place it starts.
Love me from your head and heart;
Love me when I'm wild.

Laying down the ways to say I need you,
Scared of looking tall and feeling small.
Running through the days I have beside you,
Scared of being wrong and that's it all.

Love me with your head and heart;
Love with your very self.
Love me with your head and heart;
Love me like a child.

There's just no way to say how much I love you,
You never made me cry
And that's just fine.
Only got my fate,
A bird above you;
You know we all get scared from time to time.

Love me with your head and heart;
Love me from the very start.
Love me with your head and heart;
Love me like a child.

sitenote:
Martyn remembers little about the genesis of the signature song Head and Heart, save for the fact that the opening bar was adopted from a triplet in a piece by guitarist John McLaughlin.
