Heart Of A Girl

Looking at my window, an angel enrobed

Appeared and nearly pulled me apart

A million miles of freedom, a million miles of road

But I still don't know where to start

She wrote her number down and she gave it to me

They had to scrape me off the floor

In this transient town, waiters and dealers

Trying to get their feet in the door

That night I called her and she said

"Daddy, daddy, daddy, all my life

I've been trying to find my place in the world"

I said to her, "Baby, baby, baby, I've got all night

To listen to the heart of a girl"

I can see the time dripping down the clock

We've been trying to hear that ancient refrain

It's the one that knows us when our heads are down

And reminds us of the place from where we came

Where we came

"Daddy, daddy, daddy, all my life

I've been trying to find my place in the world"

"Baby, baby, baby, I've got all night

To listen to the heart of a girl"

What happened here, what is this world?

It's too far from the heart of a girl

A ripple in the water from the drop of a pearl

I'm on the shore waiting for the heart of a girl

Many doors, knock on one

Standing still, time is raging

Staring down the mouth of a hundred thousand guns

And you're still here, you're still here

I believe that we never have to be alone

Yes, I believe it's just around the bend

You can hold it in or you can scream it on a microphone

There is no end, there is no end

Come on

Deep in the night I feel the presence

Of something that was long ago told to me

There is a hand guiding the river

The river to wide open sea

And deep in my heart, in any game

On any mountain, oh, I'm not afraid

Standing on stone, you stand beside me

And honor the plans that were made
