Remember the Tinman Songtext
von Tracy Chapman

There are locks on the doors
And chains stretched across all the entries to the inside
There′s a gate and a fence
And bars to protect from only God knows what lurks outside
Who stole your heart, left you with a space?
That no one and nothing can fill
Who stole your heart, who took it away?
Knowing that without it you can't live

Who took away the part so essential to the whole?
Left you a hollow body
Skin and bone
What robber, what thief
Who stole your heart, and the key?

Who stole your heart?
The smile from your face?
The innocence the light from your eyes?
Who stole your heart, or did you give it away?
And if so then when and why?


Who took away the part, so essential to the whole?
Left you a hollow body
Skin and bone
What robber, what thief
Who stole your heart, and the key?
Now all sentiment is gone
Now you have no trust in no one

Who stole your heart?
Did you know but forget, the method and moment in time?
Was it a trickster using mirrors and sleight of hand?
A strong elixir or a potion that you drank

Who hurt your heart?
Bruised it in a place
That no one and nothing can heal
You′ve gone to wizards, princes and magic men
You've gone to witches, the good, the bad, the indifferent
But still all sentiment is gone
But still you have no trust in no one

If you can tear down the walls
Throw your armor away, remove all roadblocks, barricades
If you can forget there are bandits, and dragons to slay
Don't forget that you defend an empty space
And remember the tinman
Found he had what he thought he lacked
Remember the tinman
Go find your heart and take it back


Who stole your heart?
Maybe no one can say
One day you will find it I pray
