I can't be here to hear this story
I can't be here to hear the tale
I can't be here but please don't ignore me
I don't think that I can bear the pain
Carpenter's hammer diviner's rod
Fix and find scattered pieces of my heart
Leaving New York
I'm thinking that I love you
But I know you can't hear
Racing the sun knew I didn't have a chance
to get there before the night had come
We said goodbye just like we planned to
I clench and bear the numbing pain
Carpenter's hammer diviner's rod
Fix and find scattered pieces of my heart
Outside New York
I'm thinking that I love you
But I know that you can't hear
Save a kiss for me babe and I'm on my way
Leave a light in the doorway and on that day
I'll return to a love
a love so sad
And we'll talk until dawn...of what we had
Feelings like these always come and haunt me
No more the pain they bring severe
Feelings like these never really seem to daunt me
'Cause I've been aboard this ship before
Carpenter's hammer diviner's rod
Fix and find scattered pieces of my heart
Under control
emotions that have flawed me
Washed clean through my tears
Chorus
Now you left me sitting here
sitting on this plane
Standing on ground may make me stable
Thousands of miles from where I've been
Knowing that soon my cards dress the table
This time next week...maybe then
Carpenter's hammer diviner's rod
mending the pieces of my heart
I remember New York
and thinking that I love you
But I know you can't hear
