Strange What a Heart Knows

We don't see each other
As often as before
I thought the other morning
As I was walking out my door
There's a vine around my ankle
And it's winding through your rings
A tangled true connection
Ever present when I sing
And it's ringing out familiar time
Like the old cathedral bells
Like a ripple in a puddle
And it feels as old as hell

(Chorus) And it's strange
What a heart knows
And it's strange
What a heart knows

We don't say
Much too much
Well, it don't pour out our mouths
But that don't matter
Much too much
'Cause I am thinking of you now
You muddy and you clean me
Like a river
Like the Mississippi
When I'm not here
I know you miss me
But I am always here for you
I'm miles around you

(Chorus)

I'm learning to breathe
Underwater
I'm sinking
But not like a stone
I never have loved like
I ought to
I am thinking
That I'm not alone

I'll see you
All around this town
But just by coincidence
Oh, I miss the way
We'd lay it down
Never making any sense . . .
We never did make sense

And it's strange
What a heart knows
And it's strange
What a heart knows
(What it knows and doesn't show)
Oh, it's strange
What a heart knows
And it's strange
What a heart knows
