"Can A Heart Take" lyrics - WARREN ZEIDERS

Gold is a night, lonely lullaby
No Mockingbird gon' sing
Her goodbye cut like a knife
Won't be no diamond ring
On a pretty left hand
I better understand

[Chorus:]
How much pain can a heart take?
How long till the hurt fades?
How much whiskey does a man drink
Till the "you ain't here" is gone?
How dark is a storm cloud?
How hard is the come down?
How much rain till the dam breaks?
How much pain can a heart take?

On my head, hold it all back
Keep it in, cowboys don't cry
Settle on up, go and get stuck
Ride until the morning light

[Chorus:]
How much pain can a heart take?
How long till the hurt fades?
How much whiskey does a man drink
Till the "you ain't here" is gone?
How dark is a storm cloud?
How hard is the come down?
How much rain till the dam breaks?
How much pain can a heart take?

[Bridge:]
Can it take what you've given me?
Can it take all these memories?
Can it take all I'm feeling now?
Well, I figure I'ma figure out

[Chorus:]
How much pain can a heart take?
How long till the hurt fades?
How much whiskey does a man drink
Till the "you ain't here" is gone?
How dark is a storm cloud?
How hard is the come down?
How much rain till the dam breaks?
How much pain can a heart take?
