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 and
someway
Where they're
downing only deer
a hundred steel
towns away
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
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 a 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
