"Harden My Heart"
— by Quarterflash
This is your typical woman-gets-lied-to-by-man song, however, Quarterflash is an amazing group. The band took its name from an Australian slogan: "a quarter flash and three parts foolish." The husband and wife team of Marv and Rindy Ross are still together and have a group called the Trail Band. Marv (guitar) and Rindy (reeds/woodwinds) were the founders of Quarterflash; the couple received the Alumni Award of Excellence from Western Oregon University for their contributions to Oregon arts. The Rosses have toured with Elton John, Linda Ronstadt, and The Beach Boys. They founded The Trail Band in 1991.
I dedicate this one to my ex-husband …
Cryin' on the corner
Waitin' in the rain
I swear I'll never ever wait again
You gave me a word
But words for you are lies
Darlin' in my wildest dreams
I never thought I'd go
But its time to let you know
I'm gonna harden my heart
I'm gonna swallow my tears
I'm gonna turn and leave you here …
All of my life
I've been waitin' in the rain
I've been waitin' for a feelin' that never ever came
It feels so close
But always disappears
Darlin' in your wildest dreams
You never had a clue
But its time you got the news
I'm gonna harden my heart
I'm gonna swallow my tears
I'm gonna turn and leave you here …
Darlin' in my wildest dreams
I never thought I'd go
But its time to let you know
I'm gonna harden my heart
I'm gonna swallow my tears
I'm gonna turn and leave you here …
I'm gonna harden my heart
I'm gonna swallow my tears
I'm gonna harden my heart
I'm gonna swallow my tears
Harden my heart
I'm gonna swallow my tears
Oh oh oh oh
Harden my heart
I'm gonna harden my heart
I'm gonna swallow my tears …
