Sounds of a Breaking Heart

Was it the shattering of the glass?
Or the howling of the wolf?
Was it the crying of the wind?
Or did the rain fall heavier?
The ticking of the clock?
No, sounded more like gunshots to the ear.
The thunder rumbles ever so near
And the river seems to be running wild
Was it the crackling of a blaze?
Or an extinguishing gush of the flames?
Sounds like the breaking of the bones
And splattering of the brains
I hear the loudness of the horns
And the softness of the strings
The melody of all sounds as a whole
And how you say you're leaving me between each part
So love, tell me...
Can you hear the sounds of a breaking heart?--The Brokenhearted Man
