Don't speak of my heart, it hurts too much -- hurts to touch   I'm writing the book each and every day   Take a look at my face, I still need -- I still bleed   I've been running on empty since you went away.      The spirit world looks down on us   Sad that we're apart   So please don't speak of my heart.      Whenever we talk she says hang on -- just hang on   Meanwhile I'm drowning in the pouring rain   And each time we meet there's a sad farewell -- sad farewell   She tells me someday I'm gonna love again.      The way that she walked out on me   Still tears me apart   So please don't speak of my heart.      Every day's an endless maze of dreams that fade and die   No one believed we were saying 'Goodbye'   And every night I think of you I'm still left wondering why   I can't believe that we're saying goodbye.      And when I wake up in the morning   And wonder where I'm going to   It all came without a warning   What's a man supposed to do?      Don't let your heart break down   Don't let your heart break down.      Don't speak of my heart, it hurts too much -- it hurts to touch   I'm writing the book each and every day   Take a look at my face, I still need -- I still bleed   I've been running on empty since you went away.      The spirit world looks down on us,   Sad that we're apart   Don't wanna talk about it -- don't make me think about it   So please don't speak of my heart.            Written By: Gerry Rafferty and Jim Rafferty   Drums/Percussion: Arran Ahmun   Keyboards: Pavel Rosak   Programming: Pavel Rosak   Bass Guitar: Mo Foster   Electric Guitar: Hugh Burns   High String Guitar: Gerry Rafferty   Strings/Bassoon Arrangement: Andrew Jackman   Lead Vocals: Gerry Rafferty   Backing Vocals: Nicky Moore / Joe Egan / Julian Littman /    Melanie Harrold / Liane Carroll / Gerry Rafferty
