lyrics

This Black Heart

I was building an island in the heart of a black sea
Where no one could bother and you couldn’t find me
Then you drifted in softly just under my radar
Now I’m into your lifeboat
Like a castaway sailor

I, I, I
I’m coming over
I won’t take no from you
This black heart
is going under
and coming up new

I have taken the long way down a dark lonely alley
Then the rain made a river and it carried me downstream
To a dark place inside me where you didn’t matter
Surrounded by black cats and fire escape ladders

CHORUS

I’m so tired of walking blind in the middle of the night
Won’t you come and bring the spark
To light this black black heart

CHORUS
