Careful Heart
You should know my heart is careful -
Careful, slow, and deep;
So before you say you're falling,
Look before you leap.
I have patched a dozen heartbreaks,
Small though they may be;
So before you say you're falling,
Please just wait for me.
You should know my mind is racing,
Though I seem just fine;
You must feel my hands are shaking -
Fingers wrapped in mine;
Lead me gently, gallant stranger,
I'm not far behind;
But before you say you're falling,
Give me lots of time.
