Lyrics for My Willing Heart

The first time your name was used It was beauty and I knew Sat in a violet room with some people I saw through Gathered 'round the television's fire Watching for the people I admired Outside my world, we're frozen in the mouth I couldn't let them out When I see my willing heart How will I know? How will I walk slow? How will I know? How will I walk slow? It's a strange spell that we lust for Every now and then, every now and then Every now and then, every now and then When I see my willing heart How will I know? How will I walk slow? It's a strange spell that we watch for And one I swear I never saw Every now and then, every now and then Every now and then You're still on my screen Every now and then You're still on my screen Every now and then There's a glare from the sun and [?] Every now and then When I see my willing heart How will I know? How will I walk slow? How will I know? How will I walk slow? It's a strange spell that we watch for Every now and then You're still on my screen Every now and then They must have heard my scream Every now and then There's a glare from the sun and it's deafening Every now and then When I see my willing heart How will I know? How will I walk slow?
