Beat Of Your Heart

Here it comes again, the burning in the blood

The pounding in my brain, the rising of the flood

Every night I pray, begging sleep to come

But it's so far away

Way behind the drumbeat of your heart

I remember well a night of falling snow

Reading you a tale from Edgar Allen Poe

By the firelight, how your dark eyes shone

I had no idea it would be so strong

The beat of your heart!

Your midnight cry, your morning song

Your salty tears, your honey tongue

Every night I pray, begging sleep to come

But it's so far away

Way behind the drumbeat of your heart
