THE HEART THAT CAN'T BE UNDERSTOOD (Pete Ham)
[from 7 Park Avenue CD - recorded 1974 - released Japan 1997]
[from 7 Park Avenue remastered CD - recorded 1974 - released Japan 1999]

The sadness that you cancel with your smile
The heart that can't be understood
And though you say it's only for awhile
I know inside that it's for good
It's clear, I'm just another port of call
Another game to pass the time
And when you leave, I won't exist at all
Not even in your stoney mind

So hold me once again before you go
For me, it's more than passing flames
And even though I know you can't return the love I feel
I can't deny my love for you

The mating that I looked for all my life
A love that only lives in dreams
Perfection that conceals a hidden knife
The kiss that's not all that it seems
It's clear, I'm just another port of call
Another game to pass the time
And when you leave, I won't exist at all
Not even in your stoney mind

So hold me once again before you go
For me, it's more than passing flames
And even though I know you can't return the love I feel
I can't deny my love for you
I can't deny my love for you.
