Across the street the river runs Down in the gutter life is slipping away Let me still exist in another place Running under cover of a helicopter blade
The flames are getting higher in effigy Burning down the bridges of my memory Love may still be alive somewhere someway where they're downing only deer a hundred steel towns away
Oh rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum with the words "I love you" rolling off my tongue No never will I roam for I know my place is home where the ocean meets the sky I'll be sailing
Photographs and kerosene light up my darkness light it up, light it up I can still feel the touch of your thin blue jeans Running down the alley I've got my eyes all over you baby Oh baby
Oh the rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum with the words "I love you" rolling off my tongue No never will I roam for I know my place is home where the ocean meets the sky I'll be sailing I'll be sailing
Oh I've got lightning in my veins shifting like the handle of a slot machine Love may still exist in another place I'm just yanking back the handle no expression on my face
Oh the rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum with the words "I love you" rolling off my tongue Never will I roam for I know my place is home where the ocean meets the sky I'll be sailing
Oh the rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum with the words "I love you" rolling off my tongue No never will I roam for I know my place is home where the ocean meets the sky I'll be sailing
The rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum with the words "I love you" rolling off my tongue Never will I roam for I know my place is home where the ocean meets the sky I'll be sailing
