Head in Hands

Verse 1: He never stayed in any one place anymore than he had to, to live
And life was so strange, on the road, on the plains
And the silence he spoke with said more than just words did
Chorus 1: Sometimes when you watch him, his head in his hands
It seems like he?s thinking of dreams that went bad
But he won?t betray any feelings today
So don?t ask him, ask him to stay
Verse 2: When she was a girl she bought a piano and she loved it so dearly she did
But she never played, though she tried every day
Cos her heart was not in it, no spark came to fill it
Chorus 2: Sometimes when you watch her, her head in her hands
Seems like she?s crying, despairing so sad
But she won?t give up, no she won?t try to stop
So why not ask her, ask her to play?
Chorus 3: Sometimes if you see someone, head in their hands
You think that you know them, cos you know how to be sad
But happiness shows in ways you might not know
So just ask them, ask them to tell
You?ll find that you don?t know them well
