"Three Riddles" lyrics

Three Riddles

Just in case
You're sitting home alone
With nothing else to do
I've written down three riddles
And I've sent them off to you

What's grey and green
And sometimes red
And once belonged to you?
I'll give you one small hint, my dear
Everyone has two

Yes, it's these eyes of mine you said
Would always help to see you through
The grey and green are still the same
It's the crying red that's new

What's warm and strong
And filled with love
And empty without you?
Here's another hint, my dear
Everyone has two

Yes, it's these arms of mine you said
Would always help you carry through
They're still warm and strong
And filled with love
It's the emptiness that's new

What hears your laugh
And feels your smile
And beats for only you?
Here's a final hint, my dear
I wish that I had two

Yes, it's this heart of mine you said
Would find its happiness in you
It still hears you laugh
And feels your smile
But you've broken it in two

These are just three simple riddles
Any child could see right through
I'm sure they're just
A waste of time
But I had nothing else to do
