Don Henley
"When A Heart Breaks"


An old song on the radio, a faded dream from long ago
A phone is ringin' but the message can't get through
A whisper on the wind as the sun goes down
A teardrop crashes to the ground and

That's the sound that a heart makes when a heart breaks
That's the sound that a heart makes when a heart breaks

Two people cryin' over broken vows
A door slams shut on an empty house
It echoes on down where the well is running dry
Words lost in sentences we can't understand
A ring is slippin' off my fingers and slippin' through my
hands, and

That's the sound that a heart makes when a heart breaks
That's the sound that a heart makes when a heart breaks

Blue notes on an old guitar, the silent fire of a distant star
The unforgiving rhythm of November rain,
Rivers that are runnin' down a broken windowpane

That's the sound that a heart makes when a heart breaks

That's the sound that a heart makes when a heart breaks

That's the sound that a heart makes when a heart breaks

That's the sound that a heart makes when a heart breaks
