 "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 cornerWaitin' 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 …
