written by Warren Zevonc. 1987 Zevon Music BMI. Shadows falling in the noonday sun. Blue feeling to the maximum. Look what happens when you love someone. And they don't love you. The heartache. The risk you run. The chance you take. When you love someone. And the sorrow. For the lonely one. When the heartache comes. Never thought I'd be alone like this. Guess I should have been a realist. That's the trouble with relationships. They end too soon. And the heartache. The risk you run. The chance you take. When you love someone. And the sorrow. For the lonely one. When the heartache comes. And the darkness falls. And the rain comes down. In the midst of spring. There's a sadness in the heart of things. And the heartache. The risk you run. The chance you take. When you love someone. And the sorrow. For the lonely one. When the heartache comes. Shadows falling in the noonday sun. Blue feeling to the maximum.
