Lyrics

The Delta of Her Heart (Words and Music: Mike Appel)

Never once complained to me, so why did she feel the need to leave
Was I full of myself, now it?s all gone to hell, sayonara, farewell
She?d swamp me in organic love, a heart as soft as a river?s mud
My life was intact, now it?s all out of whack, how do I get her back?
She?d jotted down a short handwritten note
I know you need your space is what she wrote
But with a tail wind at my back though she has got a day?s head start
I?m closin? in on The Delta of Her Heart, down the bayous to The Delta of Her Heart

The world outside?s a tragedy, she?s the only one gave a damn for me
No I didn?t see, thought I had to be free, I was all about me
But I?m not about to say goodbye, cross my heart and hope to die
I?m gonna patch it up, true love?s good enough, when the goin? gets tough
When she needed me I wasn?t there, and she knew I had this little side affair
But in matters of the heart she had raised it to an art
And so I?m driftin? to The Delta of Her Heart, to the Gulf Stream and The Delta of Her Heart

She was like the salt of the earth, it was me that caused all of the hurt, I never meant her no harm, so I can not accept the fact that she is gone
I was too busy runnin? around, and she didn?t want to tie me down
It was bound to go wrong, but I can justify my weakness, ?cause I know my love is strong

Instrumental Interlude:

It?s me that ran the perfect love aground, if ever there was a fool I?d take the crown
But rest assured the love in me will reach its watermark
On the levees within The Delta of Her Heart
I?ll ride the high tide to The Delta of Her Heart
And take shelter in The Delta of Her Heart
