My Heart On Your Back - Stephan Eicher

When we first met

I thougt you are a girl

Who grabs my heart and runs away

But carefully you asked:

What makes you feel so low

I can take it away, just let go

You took my heart

Put it on your back

You walked away

Now you bring it back

This isn’t my heart

Didn’t look like this

A broken toy

Isn’t what I miss

Invent me a face

Find me a name

Leave a trace, before you leave again

So hear my song

And remember this

When you’re gone

Only my heart I miss

You took my heart

Put it on your back…

If you still got your memory

Could you lend it to me

For just one day

For just one night

I don’t want to turn

This planet around

Just want to write

What I missed down

You took my heart

Put it on your back…
