"Tender Heart" lyrics - ANN WILSON

When a tender heart breaks
And the blood comes running down
The bleeding edge, the killing ache
Red and purple on the ground

When the old illusion dies
In the cold, cold light of day
In your mind, you realize
What your heart will not obey

This is it, you can't go on
Now that the miracle is gone
But innocence is still a part
Of your soar and tender heart

We all come and we depart
The strangers we were at the start
That forever knot comes undone
Your Crystal ship drifts in the fog

And your soul is hit and run
And the truth bites like a dog
Oh, yeah

Oooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, yeah
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

And this it, you can't go on
Now that the miracle is gone
(Gone, gone)
But innocence still plays a part
In your soar and tender heart

Maybe you just got it wrong
Misunderstood things from the start
But the magic was too strong
You couldn't hide your tender heart

And we all come and we depart
The strangers we were...
At the start
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
