Keep Me In Your Heart For Awhile

Warren Zevon

Shadows are fallin'

and I'm runnin' out of breath

keep me in your heart for awhile



If I leave you

it doesn't mean I love you any less

keep me in your heart for a while



When you get up in the mornin'

and you see that crazy sun

keep me in your heart for awhile



There's a train leavin' nightly

called when all is said and done

keep me in your heart for awhile



Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-lo

Keep me in your heart for awhile

Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-lo

Keep me in your heart for awhile



Sometimes when you're doin'

simple things around the house

maybe you'll think of me and smile

you know I'm tied to you

like the buttons on your blouse

keep me in your heart for awhile



Hold me in your thoughts

take me to your dreams

touch me as I fall into view

and when the winter comes

keep the fires lit

and I'll be right next to you



Engine driver's headed north

to Pleasant Street

keep me in your heart for awhile

these wheels keep turnin

but they're runnin out of steam

keep me in your heart for awhile



Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-lo

Keep me in your heart for awhile

Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-lo

Keep me in your heart for awhile



Keep me in your heart for awhile...
