No One Ever Tells You
by H. Atwood / C. Coates 
recording of 1994 
from 
Heart to Heart (GRP 9767) 
No one ever tells you 
What it's like to love and lose 
How it feels to waken 
And have breakfast with the blues 
How to go on living 
How to face another day 
No, no one ever tells you the way 
No one ever tells you 
How it feels to walk alone 
Listening for those footsteps 
Through the echo of your own 
Suddenly it hits you 
All those dreams weren't worth a dime 
'Cause no one ever tells you in time 
Long before 
The icy winds of winter 
Autumn tells the swallows 
Time to fly 
So why do we pretend 
Till the bitter end 
Till it breaks our hearts 
To say good-bye 
Well 
No one ever tells you 
That it's just another fling 
No one ever warns you 
When your heart begins to sing 
Someone tells you later 
All is fair in love and war 
But no one ever tells you before 
Long before 
Our love boat's torn asunder 
We can hear the thunder 
Of the falls 
So why do we go on 
Sailing madly on 
Till all we had is gone 
Beyond recall 
Beyond recall 
No one ever tells you 
That it's just another fling 
No one ever warns you 
When your heart begins to sing 
Someone tells you later 
All is fair in love and war 
But no one ever tells you before 
It never comes easy 
'Cause no one 
No one, no one 
Ever tells you 
Tells you 
No one ever tells you before 
No one ever tells you before
