Rough Edges & Ragged Hearts

6. ROUGH EDGES & RAGGED HEARTS © A Mader / L McRae

I’m starved for affection, don’t strive for perfection
Just someone to catch me if I fall
Now the band’s finished playing outside it’s still raining
I look around and there’s no one at all

Rough edges and ragged hearts
Come together just to fall apart
Where living is a dying art
Rough edges and ragged hearts

My ears are ringing when I wake next morning
The phone in its cradle is silent as hell
But maybe this evening I’ll find redemption
Dancing with the demons that I know so well

Rough edges and ragged hearts
Come together just to fall apart
Where living is a dying art
Rough edges and ragged hearts

I’ll wear my scars like a well-worn dance floor
I’ll wear my hair up so I can stand tall
The music surrounds me like the arms of a lover
Just because my world spins does it mean I must fall

Single File, Ladies Chain, Bend the Line, Promenade,
Roll Away, Half Sashay, U Turn Back……Separate

Rough edges and ragged hearts
Come together just to fall apart
Where livin is a dying art
Rough edges and ragged hearts, Ragged hearts
