Lyrics
I left my heart back in the orient Down on Bali bays It's not the way that I should feel But it's the way I'm going to stay Lonely, lonely Chasing you all round the world Wrong way, wrong way You took a heart, took a heart too young
Downhearted Broken dreams that never really started Downhearted Broken dreams that never really start
It seems all wrong back here at home There's no end in sight Should i be made to drag you through This lovers endless fight If only, if only You'd take me as i am Strong arm, strong charm You took a heart, took a heart too young
Downhearted Broken dreams that never really started Downhearted Broken dreams that never really start
Sometimes i think that we should stay Happy on the farm Sometimes i think that i'll give it all away This love and all its charm
Downhearted Broken dreams that never really started Downhearted Broken dreams that never really start
