The Place Where Hearts Are Sold

© 2009 Mark Cote

1. compassion
    is out of fashion
    love is a dirty glove
    no reflections in this hall of mirrors
    as I walk a lonely path
    it all becomes clearer

(chorus) don't give in
                won't give in
                I can't be that cold
                still looking for the place
                the place where hearts are sold

2. friendship
    a toy boat
    one that doesn't even float
    life's rocky sea needs a ship that's strong
    trim the sail guide in the night
    calm my soul with a song
(chorus)

3. feelings
    have no meaning
    refrain from feeling pain
    all the things that make us all human
    all gone and withered away
    a soul left in ruin
(chorus)
