Warmer Than My Heart

An illustration for a song I wrote a while back, "Warmer Than My Heart". Basically, the idea was to take an old C&W, cryin' in your beer song such as Hank Williams might sing, and merge it with some sardonic humor about the world's environmental crisis. Rather a unique combination, I'm guessing! Lyrics below. If I can figure out how to add an MP3 file on this blog, I'll do that as well, later.

Cherry trees in Tokyo are blossoming in March

New Yorkers in January picnic in the park

I read you letter late last night and sat there in the dark

now every place is warmer than my heart

Moscow in the winter is like Paris in the spring

I wonder why in old Shanghai the birds have come to sing

in Berlin I saw you girl in your brand new boyfriend’s car

and every place is warmer than my heart

(refrain)

we’re told that we must heed the warning

or life as we know it could well come to an end

but I’m hoping that global warming

will melt your heart and bring you back, back to me again

businessmen pay scientists to say it isn’t so

while on the slopes skiers hope for just a little snow

if you want to cool things down, then I'm the place to start

'cause every place is warmer than my heart

repeat refrain

The climate crime rate’s going up just like the mercury

the way you cooled our romance down seems like a crime to me

we had a great thing going till you blew it all apart

now every place is warmer than my heart

warmer than my heart, warmer than my heart
