Oh, to think of you

And your unswept floor

And how my shadow′s hueOnce loved to darken your door

Oh, it don't feel like a heart swell

No, it′s more like when you're drivin'

And you fade across the double line

(Oh, it don′t feel like a heart swell)

Oh, the feelin′ rushin' over

When you make it back across in time

(No, it don′t feel like a heart swell)

Oh, hand on your shoulder

When you know there is no peace to find

(Oh, it don't feel like a heart swell)

No, it don′t feel like a heart swell

It don't feel like a heart swell

And the cicada choir

Is my backin′ band

Join in off key

Country mumble

Sang slow and hard to understand

Oh, it don't feel like a heart swell

No, it's more like when they tell you

They′re still lookin′ for a heart of gold

(Oh, it don't feel like a heart swell)

Like an immigrant heart

That keeps tryin′ to get back home

(No, it don't feel like a heart swell)

Like a crop fire ragin′

And it's takin′ everythin' you've sewn

(Oh, it don′t feel like a heart swell)

No, it don′t feel like a heart swell

It don't feel like a heart swell

Oh, it don′t feel like a heart swell

No, it's more like when you′re drivin'

And you fade across the double line

(Oh, it don′t feel like a heart swell)

Like the feelin' rushin' over

When you make it back across in time

(No, it don′t feel like a heart swell)

No, it don′t feel like a heart swell

It don't feel like a heart swell
