Lyrics for The Last Beat Of My Heart - Live
In the sharp gust of love my memory stirred When time wreathed a rose a garland of shame It's thorn my only delight war torn Afraid to speak, we dare to breathe Majestic, imperial a bridge of sighs Solitude sails in a wave of forgiveness On angels wings Reach out your hands, don't turn your back Don't walk away How in the world, can I wish for this? Never to be torn apart Close to you 'till the last beat of my heart At the close of day the sunset cloaks These words in shadow play Here and now, long and loud My heart cries out And the naked bone of an echo says Don't walk away Reach out your hands I'm just a step away How in the world can I wish for this? Never to be torn apart Close to you till the last beat of my heart How in the world can I wish for this? Never to be torn apart till the last beat Till the last fleeting beat of my heart
