The Heart Is Never Sitting Still

I said The seasons keep on changin' Paid my dues With a five-dollar wage Bought a ticket to the city Ridin' on a faded page Neon sign is buzzin' Like it’s got somethin' to say But I know the truth, child It just spells “PAID” December wind is howlin' Through the spaces in the floor My coffee cup is empty But I don't need no more Just a photograph is smilin' From a dusty wooden shelf I took it down last Sunday Told the story to myself I've seen winter Spring And a lonely summer Yeah I have I've felt the autumn rain Wash away my number But I tell you, woman The heart is never sitting still Whoo! Spring came runnin' Smellin' like perfume and rain Broke a window of the jailhouse That was built from my own pain Summer sun was high and mighty Shinin' on my silver coat But the engine of my sorrow Let out a dyin' note I saw her underneath the willow Where the river used to flow She was dancin' with a shadow I can’t tell you where they go ’Cause I learned ’bout “forever” From a man with half a hat He said, “Son, forever’s that pocket When your money’s spent and flat” I've seen winter Spring And a lonely summer Yeah I have I've felt the autumn rain Wash away my number But I tell you, sinner The heart is never sitting still Maybe heaven Is a place where the time don't move But the devil on my shoulder Tells me, “Time is all you use” And the seasons keep on comin' Like a freight train Without a crew I have seen the frozen snow And the golden honey sun I held the dying flower When the summer race was run But I tell you all, good people The heart Is never sitting still Oh no The heart is never sitting still I said The seasons keep on changin'
