Cast Your Fate To the Wind - Allen Toussaint

I know there's something in the wake of your smile I get a notion from the look in your eyes, yea You've built a love but that love falls apart Your little piece of heaven turns too dark Listen to your heart When he's calling for you Listen to your heart There's nothing else you can do I don't know where you're going And I don't know why But listen to your heart Before you tell him goodbye Yeah Sometimes you wonder if this fight is worthwhile The precious moments are all lost in the tide, yeah They're swept away and nothing is what it seems The feeling of belonging To your dream Listen to you heart When he's calling for you Listen to your heart There's nothing else you can do I know where you're going And I don't know why But listen to your heart Before you tell him goodbye Oh, oh, oh, oh And there are voices That want to be heard So much to mention But you can't find the words The sense of magic The beauty that's been (beauty that's been) When love was wilder (than the wind) Listen to your heart When he's calling for you (Listen to your heart) (Listen to your heart) (There's nothing) else you can do I don't know where you're going And I don't know why (But listen to your heart) (Listen to your heart) Before, oh! Listen to your heart (Listen to your heart) (Take a listen to it), whoa I don't know where you're going And I don't know why But listen to your heart Before you tell him goodbye

You've been dragged down drained out They took all you had ran it to the ground It's just another case of manipulation Years spent swallowed in debt Twisting and turning with no room to bend And it all amounts to Self-resentment Self-resentment Self-resentment And that breaks a home They cut you open and I see you bleeding You've been exposed They'll get into your head and try to take control If you fight it They press your luck and I see you dreaming of paradise Don't let them mold you into who they want us to be Don't let them mold you into who they want us to be It's only love and hate no in between They make you forget that you lost everything Because they rather keep you numb and give up nothing How can you keep your head on Straight when you know you got nothing left? Self-resentment Self-resentment Self-resentment Self-resentment They cut you open and I see you bleeding You've been exposed They'll get into your head and try to take control If you fight it They press your luck and I see you dreaming of paradise Don't let them mold you into who they want us to be Don't let them mold you into who they want us to be How can you keep your head on straight? How can you keep your head on straight? Years spent swallowed in debt No room to fucking bend (to fucking bend) Years spent swallowed in debt No room to bend

Here I stand head in hand Turn my face to the wall If she's gone I can't go on Feeling two-foot small Everywhere people stare Each and every day I can see them laugh at me And I hear them say Hey you've got to hide your love away Hey you've got to hide your love away How can I even try I can never win Hearing them, seeing them In the state I'm in How could she say to me Love will find a way Gather round all you clowns Let me hear you say Hey you've got to hide your love away Hey you've got to hide your love away Hey you've got to hide your love away
