Don't speak of my heart, it hurts too much -- hurts to touch
I'm writing the book each and every day
Take a look at my face, I still need -- I still bleed
I've been running on empty since you went away.
The spirit world looks down on us
Sad that we're apart
So please don't speak of my heart.
Whenever we talk she says hang on -- just hang on
Meanwhile I'm drowning in the pouring rain
And each time we meet there's a sad farewell -- sad farewell
She tells me someday I'm gonna love again.
The way that she walked out on me
Still tears me apart
So please don't speak of my heart.
Every day's an endless maze of dreams that fade and die
No one believed we were saying ‘Goodbye'
And every night I think of you I'm still left wondering why
I can't believe that we're saying goodbye.
And when I wake up in the morning
And wonder where I'm going to
It all came without a warning
What's a man supposed to do?
Don't let your heart break down
Don't let your heart break down.
Don't speak of my heart, it hurts too much -- it hurts to touch
I'm writing the book each and every day
Take a look at my face, I still need -- I still bleed
I've been running on empty since you went away.
The spirit world looks down on us,
Sad that we're apart
Don't wanna talk about it -- don't make me think about it
So please don't speak of my heart.

Gerry Rafferty (1947-2011) was a Scottish singer-songwriter and guitarist known for his folk rock style influenced by blues. Born in Paisley, Scotland, Rafferty began his musical career in the 1960s with the groups The Humblebums and Stealers Wheel. With the latter, he achieved international success in 1973 with the single "Stuck in the Middle with You", which became a rock classic. After the dissolution of Stealers Wheel, Rafferty embarked on a successful solo career, releasing albums such as "City to City" (1978) and "Right Down the Line" (1980), both characterized by catchy melodies and introspective lyrics. His most famous song is probably "Baker Street", a 1978 single that topped the charts in many countries thanks also to the famous saxophone solo. Rafferty continued to record music until the late 1990s, although he never reached the commercial success of his early years. He died in 2011 at the age of 63.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
