Tight Connection To My Heart

John Martyn


There’s no lights tonight
And there’s no Moon
There’s just a hot blooded singer
Singing Memphis in June
They beat the hell from a guy
In a powder blue wig
What seems so dangerous from a distance
Up close never seems so big

I could not take that blood in
I could not call it wine
I could not take your love
And could not call it mine

Tight connection
You’ve got a tight connection to my heart
You got a tight connection
You’ve got a tight connection to my heart
Deliver that tight connection
Deliver it to me now
Deliver that tight connection

You want to talk to me?
Then go ahead and talk
Whatever you’ll say
Won’t come as any shock at all
Sweet Madame Butterfly
Lulled me to sleep
In this town without pity
I'm going to get my coat
And feel the storm
Darling stand beside me
Keep me warm

Tight connection
I keep a tight connection to my heart
You’ve got a tight connection
You’ve got a tight connection to my heart

I could not take that blood
I could not call it wine
I could not take your love
And I could not call it mine

I’ve got a tight connection
You’ve got a tight connection to my heart
You got a tight connection
You’ve got a tight connection to my heart

Tight connection
Give me a tight connection
Deliver that tight connection to my heart
Tight connection

Deliver that tight connection
Deliver it now
Deliver that tight connection
Deliver it now
Deliver that tight connection
Tell me
Deliver that tight connection
Deliver it now
