lyrics

Rough Edges & Ragged Hearts (© Linda McRae/Al Mader)

I’m starved for affection don’t strive for perfection
just someone to catch me should I fall
the band’s finished playing outside it’s still raining
I look around and there’s no one at all

CH Rough edges and ragged hearts
come together just to fall apart
where living is a dying art
rough edges and ragged hearts

My ears are ringing when I wake next morning
the phone in it’s cradle is silent as hell
but maybe this evening I’ll find redemption
dancing with the demons that I know so well

CH Rough edges and ragged hearts
come together just to fall apart
where living is a dying art
rough edges and ragged hearts

I’ll wear my scars like a well-worn dance floor
I’ll wear my hair up so I can stand tall
the music surrounds me like the arms of a lover
just because my world spins does it mean I must fall

Single file, ladies chain, bend the line, promenade
roll away, half sashay, you turn back, separate

CH Rough edges and ragged hearts
come together just to fall apart
where living is a dying art
rough edges and ragged hearts
