Rhythm of My Heart

Across the street, the river runs

Down in the gutter, life is slippin' away

Let me still exist in another place

Runnin' undercover of a helicopter blade

The flames are gettin' higher in effigy

Burnin' down the bridges of my memory

Love may still be alive somewhere, some way

Where they're downing only deer

A hundred steel towns away

Oh, the rhythm of my heart

Is beatin' like a drum

With the words "I love you"

Rolling off my tongue

Oh, never will I roam

Now I know my place is home

Where the ocean meets the sky

I'll be sailin'

Photographs, kerosine

Light my darkness, light it up, light it up

I can still feel the touch

Of your thin blue jeans

Runnin' down the alley

I've got my eyes all over you baby, oh baby

Oh, the rhythm of my heart

Is beatin' like a drum

With the words "I love you"

Rolling off my tongue

Oh, never will I roam

Now I know my place is home

Where the ocean meets the sky

I'll be sailin'

Oh, I've got lightning in my veins

Shiftin' like the handle of a slot machine

Love may still exist in another place

I'm just yankin' back the handle, no expression on my face

Oh, the rhythm of my heart

Is beatin' like a drum

With the words "I love you"

Rolling off my tongue

Oh, never will I roam

Now I know my place is home

Where the ocean meets the sky

I'll be sailin'

The rhythm of my heart

Is beatin' like a drum

With the words "I love you"

Rolling off my tongue

Never will I roam

Now I know my place is home

Where the ocean meets the sky

I'll be sailin'
