De Burgh, Chris - The Head And The Heart Lyrics






Let us talk no more, let us go to sleep,
Let the rain fall on the window pane,
And fill the castle keep,
I am weary now, weary to my bones,
Weary from the travelling,
And the endless country roads,
That brought us here tonight, for this weekend,
And a chance to work it out,
For we cannot live together, and we cannot live apart,
It's the classical dilemma between the head and the heart;

She is sleeping now, softly in the night,
And in my heart of darkness she has been the only light,
I am lost in love, looking at her face,
And still I hear the voice of reason,
Telling me to chase these dreams away,
Oh here we go again, we're divided from the start,
For we cannot live together, and we cannot live apart,
It's the classical dilemma between the head and the heart,
The head and the heart;

Now the dawn begins, and still I cannot sleep,
My head is spinning round but now the way is clear to me,
There is nothing left, nothing left to show,
The jury and the judge will see, it's time to let her go,
Now hear the heart,
I believe that time will show,
She will always be a part of my world,
I don't want to see her go,
So I plead my case to hear the heart,
And stay...

It's time to let her go - I don't want to let her go...
It's time to let her go - I don't want to let her go...
It's time to let her go - I don't want to let her go...
It's time to let her go...

And in this classical dilemma,
I find for - the heart.

  1. L.... N....

    My parents raised me well by teaching me this song on guitar

  2. C.... J....

    If you give me head I'll give you heart......

  3. I.... r....

    I don't know why this song is not on any of his greatest hits albums. Much better than Lady In Red, Lonely Sky, Missing You and the very prejudiced Crusader.

  4. S.... S....

    This song hurts...

  5. �.... �....

    מסכם את כל הזמן ההוא..

  6. E.... R....

    Text tejto skladby si priam vynucuje sa nad ním zamyslieť.
    Práve v súvislosti s ním:
    "It's the classical dilemma between the head and the heart", vo mne intenzívne zarezonovala myšlienka nášho slovenského autora.
    "Jednou z úloh mozgu je objaviť, pochopiť, odmietnuť alebo rešpektovať dôvody srdca".
    Bruyere (franc. esejista, moralista) sa vyjadril, že naše srdce je družnejšie a prístupnejšie ako rozum.
    Mne osobne sa to veľmi páči.
    💞Text na hlbšie zamyslenie a precítenie hudby, čo je práve vlastné Chrisovi de Burgh. 💘

  7. R.... D....

    So true

  8. S.... M....

    This beautiful song shows why Chis De Burgh is so much more than just Lady in Red. Glad it got him international recognition though. His music so deserves it.

  9. j.... b....

    is there a version where he chooses for the head?

    j.... b....

    i chose heads, but i'll give all you critics a chance to prove me wrong when your heart is in another place, unanswered or not

  10. M.... O....

    Awesome ❤️

    This song went unnoticed for many as it was released in the 80s where the eclectic pop wave was exploding, giving the place to so many radio hits from tons of bands. This song is a nicely kept secret from one of Chris' most commercial album called Man On The Line which was a pretty strong sequel of his most acclaimed album The Getaway. There is a broad spectrum of other great styles on the Man On The Line, the ballads on it are rare but very strong and versatile, produced by the amazing Rupert Hines who gave a very modern sound to this album back in the 80s. Worth every dollar. And this song... oh my god.

    p.... ....

    Agreed..great album

  12. B.... B....
