Rafferty, Gerry - Hearts Run Dry Lyrics






Hearts run dry, something happens when two hearts run dry
That you can't explain, no you don't know why, oh no oh no
Love grows cold, meanwhile life goes on and the young grow old
And you've seen too many dreams unfold, oh yeah when hearts run dry.

The setting sun, fades away just like a love that's gone
You remember when two hearts were one, oh yeah, oh yeah
And in the night, you still want someone to hold you tight
But your medicine just won't come right, oh no, when hearts run dry.

I can't love you the way that I used to do, but don't tell me I'm using you, losing you
Through empty days and lonely nights, it's memorys that keep me here with you
There's no getting near to you, and I still don't know what to do, leaving you, loving you.

Each day's the same, you decide to play the waiting game
So you live a lie, but you feel no shame, oh no, oh no.

I can't love you the way that I used to do, but don't tell me I'm using you, losing you
Through empty days and lonely nights, it's memorys that keep me here with you
There's no getting near to you, but I still don't know what to do, leaving you, loving you.

Hearts run dry, something happens when two hearts run dry
That you can't explain, no you don't know why, oh no oh no
Love grows cold, meanwhile life goes on and the young grow old
And you've seen too many dreams unfold, oh yeah when hearts run dry.

whoa-oh, when hearts run dry
whoa-oh, when hearts run dry

    Hearts desire could not get on the North and South album,and that tells you the quality of the songs that did.
    Amazing songwriting.

    Life gave us this man for too short of time!

    This man is not dead.He has to be alive in Heaven singing to our father and all the angels.

    Listening to this and his other songs, the breakdown of a marriage has never been expressed so elegantly.

  19. t.... j....

    he left some genius lines this is just one of many

  20. p.... K....

    the 9 dislikes are people who don't know great music!!! simples R.I.P GERRY I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU 😍

  21. B.... V....

    I won't go into the discussion who's the best singer ever, in the whole milkyway. However it is clear that some people's voices are simply perfect for a specific genre. Ian Gillan or Dio for hardrock, Sinatra and Dean Martin among others for the crooners-segment etc. Rafferty definetely had the perfect voice to sing delicously melancholic songs....

    B.... V....

    Gerry Rafferty is like Roy Orbison with a smoother satiny sheen.

  22. F.... G....

    A kind of perfection

  23. R.... J....

    This Man (MASTER ARTIST) is irreplaceable! No one can take his place. He had the PERFECT VOICE!

  24. D.... B....

    Ever Paisleys favorite son.

  25. J.... M....

    Timeless......................Mister Rafferty.............!

    Los corazones se secan,algo pasa cuando los corazones se secan,que no podés explicar, no,vos no sabés porqué.Oh no...Otra GRAN canción de G.R.But I still don't know what to do,leaving you,loving you...

  38. B.... S....

    This the voice you want to here at the end.

    B.... S....

    That comment sums it up. If there is a better sound to listen to then I have still to hear it.

  39. t.... ....

    Wahre Worte!!!

  40. J.... M....

    Have listened to Gerry since he sang with Billy Connolly in the Humblebums ! The album this comes from is North and South, which in my opinion is as good as the classic City to City and Night Owl classics ! Fabulous talent.,,,

    J.... M....

    grew up just accros the clyde from renfrew/paisley. and i was just an ear when i was down in a market in london and i heard can i have money back followed whith mary skifington. i had already heard city to city. but by god this man had no end to his talents and i had the pleasure of meeting him at the glasgow royal concert hall in 1992. thank you so much MR. rafferty. p.s. baker street was just the start. r.i.p. gerry and thanks a million

  41. H.... A....

    nothing  comes better than Gerry's words about love - and all his situation - I so feel/felt with his over the years - he surely is one of a kind - hedgehog - gooooo !  mahalo for the lovely and awesome memories !

  42. l.... c....

    been a big big fan of gerrys all my life i am 66 love my music play a lot of it but allways come back to my idol friend of mine was in class at him 

  43. A.... d....

    Das finde ich auch Anrea. Obwohl es um 6 minuten geht. Er hat damals schon angekundigt dass das verhaltnis mit seine Frau ein Ende nam.
    Herzen trocknen aus Wundervol

  44. M.... C....

    Lovely lovely lovely - his voice at its best.

  45. m.... ....

    love this song, always have done

  46. C.... D....

    linda canção !!!!

  47. m.... b....

    Hearts don't run dry ..they just change direction ..

  48. m.... b....

    The greater the flow ..the weaker the beaver .....hahah ?

  49. m.... b....

    And the river flows ...as beavers build their dams ..damn those beavers !!!

  50. D.... K....

    Great tune, I have to say ive found a new love for Gerry's music i heard "Night Owl" the other day aswell. What a singer What a song writer!

  51. L.... C....

    How this Album was not number 1 I will never know, Love his music more than any other. A true genius.
    RIP Gerry

  52. A.... d....

    All about ending love, breaking up, playing roles, going on and stopping. One big dilemma as it was with his long life love. (so I think) Hearts run dry as a beautiful title.

  53. C.... ....

    I think that word you used - "immortality" - is the KEY to so much of his lyrical content, just as the word "eternity" also would apply, I'm sure.
    At least, that's what I especially 'get' out of the lyrics to quite a lot of his songs.

  54. p.... ....

    i never tire of this genius.

  55. M.... ....

    gerry was a master musician, this lesser known song is up there with his best.pure magic.

  56. a.... w....

    i could melt away....................

  57. F.... T....

    Gänsehaut pur,was machen wir als Fans bloß ohne ihn,sowas wir es nie wieder geben,da gebt ihr mir doch recht oder?

  58. p.... ....

    he just sweeps you away and into the song.

  59. J.... A....

    Great song. Gerry goes into immortality as one of the greats in music.

  60. e.... ....

    only 2 comments about this masterpiece? what is happening? an awesome and beautiful song,thanks for sharing.RIP Gerry.
