I see the lines in the palm of its hand now
|
I listen hard but no words spring to mind
|
And it sounds so sweet, listen to its heartbeat
|
And I'm drowning in its sea
|
Falling at its feet
|
Listen to my heartbeat baby
|
|
And the blood sail leaves tonight
|
Fated in its blindness
|
And it won't be long before help is at hand
|
And the darkness sleeps
|
Cushioning the heartbeat
|
And I killed the captain, sank the fleet
|
To liberate the heartbeat baby
|
And it sounds so sweet
|
And it sounds so sweet
|
Listen to our hearts beat
|
|
And the darkness sleeps
|
Cushioning the heartbeat
|
And I'm drowning in its sea
|
Falling at its feet
|
Listen to my heartbeat baby
|
|
It speaks to ghosts and souls alike
|
Springs to life, and doesn't think twice
|
Wrapped in the blood sail
|
Bathed in snow
|
Nailed to the source and it won't let go
|
Fed on the bible, grown from trees
|
It opened the mind and the heart was free
|
A home in the silence, safe from sound
|
Where trouble sleeps and the light is found
|
