My Cleveland Heart

  • I'm going to make a few changes right away
    The way I leap and the way I fall
    The way I need somebody else's eyes to see me
    The way I need anyone at all

    But I expect the real changes to start
    When I finally get my Cleveland Heart
    They're made to take a bashing
    And never lose their passion

    They never break, they don't even beat
    And they don't ache, they just plug in and shine
    Don't make mistakes, and they don't know defeat
    Like my heart makes, like this broken heart of mine

    I've been walking that broken line between
    The way life is and the way it seems
    I've been stranded on that endless straightaway
    Between the truth and my wildest dreams

    But I will no longer need to tell them apart
    When I've finally got my Cleveland Heart
    They just keep on hoping
    And stay so big and open

    They never break, they don't even beat
    And they don't ache, they just plug in and shine
    Don't make mistakes, and they don't know defeat
    Like my heart makes, like this broken heart of mine Writer/s: Jackson Browne, Val McCallum
