Lyrics

Well the moon shook my hand 
And said welcome young man to the dark 
I was foolish to stay 
Should have looked the other way
I'm a riverboat gambler by heart 
I was stuck to the floor
By the shoes that I wore
They were doomed from the start
Tell me how can a man live his life without a broken heart 

If you put up your guard 
You'll push her too far past the stars
Stand too close 
You'll burn from head to toe
You'll fall as quick as a spark
It's a balancing game 
That is hard to explain
I guess it's kind of an art
To tell me how can a man live his life without a broken heart 
Without a broken heart

Should I lose the things I want, my darling
To discover what I'm looking for 
Live my life in the thick of a warning
Without ever looking out my door

Well the moon shook my hand 
And said welcome young man to the light
And as his words hit my ears
All my darkness and fears 
Surrendered and gave up the fight
He said sometimes all you need is love to be free
And you can find it wherever you are
And that's how a man lives his life without a broken heart 
Yeah and that’s how a man lives his life without a broken heart
Without a broken heart
