Tracy Chapman - Remember The Tinman Lyrics
There are locks on the doorsAnd chains stretched across all the entries to the insideTheres a gate and a fenceAnd bars to protect from only God knows what lurks outsideWho stole your heart left you with a spaceThat no one and nothing can fillWho stole your heart who took it awayKnowing that without it you cant liveWho took away the part so essential to the wholeLeft you a hollow bodySkin and boneWhat robber what thief who stole your heart and the keyWho stole your heartThe smile from your faceThe innocence the light from your eyesWho stole your heart or did you give it awayAnd if so then when and whyWho took away the part so essential to the wholeLeft you a hollow bodySkin and boneWhat robber what thiefWho stole your heart and the keyNow all sentiment is goneNow you have no trust in no oneWho stole your heartDid you know but forget the method and moment in timeWas it a trickster using mirrors and sleight of handA strong elixir or a potion that you drankWho hurt your heartBruised it in a placeThat no one and nothing can healYouve gone to wizards, princes and magic menYouve gone to witches, the good the bad the indifferentBut still all sentiment is goneBut still you have no trust in no oneIf you can tear down the wallsThrow your armor away remove all roadblocks barricadesIf you can forget there are bandits and dragons to slayAnd dont forget that you defend an empty spaceAnd remember the tinmanFound he had what he thought he lackedRemember the tinmanGo find your hear and take it backWho stole your heartMaybe no one can sayOne day you will find it I pray
