Lyrics: Stephan Eicher. My Heart On Your Back.

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 is?nt my heart,
Did?nt look like this
A broken toy
Is? nt 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...
