Half Of A Heart — текст песни (Rogers Stan)

[This piece is for all of you who`ve sat in the bars and watched it all happen
- another one of the reasons Stan didn`t like performing in very many bars.]
That one behind you on the padded velvet throne,
Don`t turn around! You`ve seen that kind before.
Wolves hang around here and they hunt the woods alone,
Waiting for hearts to wander through the door.
This bar has changed now that the hunter`s hunted too.
Who is the prey, and who is the hungry mouth?
Go talk with strangers, only nothing said is true.
It`s, Who do you know? and When did you last fly south?
And it`s drink bought to catch the eye and make intentions known,
The kind they would never buy if they meant to drink alone.
And it`s soft words that make the play in warm and winning tones,
The kind words they`d never say if they dared to sleep alone.
But like you, I`m fascinated by the glitter of the flame,
Watching wolves steal half of a heart away.
Watching wolves steal half of a heart away.
