Cold Cold Heart

I'm in a Norah Jones mood today, and when I visited my friend youtube and typed her name in, I found this gorgeous cover of an old Hank Williams Sr. hit and then listened to it on repeat for the next several minutes:

I tried so hard my dear to show that you're my every dream

Yet you're afraid each thing I do is just some evil scheme

A memory from your lonesome past keeps us so far apart

Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold heart

And although the lyrics don't fit exactly, the sentiment is similar to the one I feel sometimes talking to my ex-husband (as I did tonight). I guess if I didn't manage to melt his cold cold heart when we were married, I'm not likely to do it now, but every time I even try to talk to him about emotions, we end up fighting. I think he's still a little bit mad that he couldn't melt my cold cold heart (cuz it needed some major thawing when we met just as his did):

Another love before my time made your heart sad and blue

And so my heart is paying now for things I didn't do

In anger unkind words are said that make the teardrops start

Why can't I free your doubtful mind, and melt your cold cold heart

I'm hoping that now that both of us have other loves doing said melting, we can come together in a way that is supportive to our children. I sure hope so.

And as much as I dig Norah's cover, Hank Sr. is just pure gold -- check him out.
