Shot Through the Heart

[Verse 1] The first thing that dies is the light from the eyes You don’t think a lover can tell When the fire is gone in a coal miner’s son Like the ringing of the Rhymney bell It begins in the south like a kiss on the mouth Like a friend in the still of the night But ends with your hearts in pieces and parts In a cab in a cold grey light [Chorus] Shot from the right There goes the gunman Shot from the left They let him go free Shot through the heart Oh, such a young onе Why’d you do this to me? I was just tryin’ to get free [Verse 2] While cupping your hand around a cold alе can You’re quietly doing me in Now that it’s done, you believe in no one And you say it again and again I’m packing my bags, I won’t shed a tear I learned how to do that from you I’m tossing these bottles and powders, dear I can’t watch it happen to you [Chorus] Shot from the right There goes the gunman Shot from the left They let him go free Shot through the heart Oh, such a young one Did you call out to me? Were you just tryin’ to get free? [Bridge] I fly ’cross the ocean to say that I care I swear I do anyway You laugh in my face, you take it in stride You carefully throw it away [Chorus] Shot from the right There goes the gunman Shot from the left They let him go free Shot through the heart Oh, such a young one Did you call out to me? [Chorus] Shot from the right There goes the gunman Shot from the left They let him go free Shot through the heart Oh, such a young one Why do this to me? Were you just tryin’ to get free?
