Lyrics

Away Ye Broken Heart

Author: P. Stewart

Away, away you broken heart you
Leave my chest like a hollow cave
Stand me somewhere near the ocean
I will wait there wave after wave

Away, away you broken heart you
Who can heal you when you’re like this
There’s no angel born in heaven
There’s no lover’s healing kiss

Away, away you broken heart you
Lose yourself in the darkest night
If the stars can take your sorrow
Let them take it and that’s alright

Away, away you broken heart you
Leave my breast like a hollow cave
Stand me somewhere near the ocean
I will wait there wave after wave.

Phil Stewart wrote this beautiful song of utter heartbrokeness.Stark,empty song of hurt and abandonment,not every ones cup of tea and seldom sung. At Vicar St last December a request came up from the Hall and I started in not knowing whether I still had it.The Doctor stroked out some pure lonesome chords and we somehow got through,there was neither a dry eye nor leg in the house.
