Heart Beats to a Different Drum

[Verse 1]
Why did he have to leave
On a full moon shining bold
When night was oh so warm
And the love was oh so cold
Just like a giant pearl
So high it glimmered with a passion
I had to watch it by myself
He’d gone away in fashion

[Verse 2]
There should have been a better time
To leave this heart alone
It’s never fair when they don’t care
You’re left alone with much despair
Think it’s good, you know it’s bad
You gave it everything you had
I guess you never can count on
True love to really last too long

[Chorus]
And it’s only time that’s running fast
My heart’s not on the run
It’s only time that we’re apart
My heart beats to a different drum

[Verse 3]
I say be patient, try to wait
Don’t ever say goodbye
Time will tell if he’s the one
Who calls you in the night
And even though you might be gambling
Betting like a fool
You’ll find out if he wants you
Without breakin’ any rule

[Chorus]
And it’s only time that’s running fast
Your heart’s not on the run
It’s only time that you’re alone
Your heart beats to a different drum

[Chorus]
And it’s only time that’s running fast
Your heart’s not on the run
It’s only time that you’re alone
Your heart beats to a different drum
