Rhythm of My Heart

Across the street, the river runs Down in the gutter, life is slippin' away Let me still exist in another place Runnin' undercover of a helicopter blade The flames are gettin' higher in effigy Burnin' down the bridges of my memory Love may still be alive somewhere, some way Where they're downing only deer A hundred steel towns away Oh, the rhythm of my heart Is beatin' like a drum With the words "I love you" Rolling off my tongue Oh, never will I roam Now I know my place is home Where the ocean meets the sky I'll be sailin' Photographs, kerosine Light my darkness, light it up, light it up I can still feel the touch Of your thin blue jeans Runnin' down the alley I've got my eyes all over you baby, oh baby Oh, the rhythm of my heart Is beatin' like a drum With the words "I love you" Rolling off my tongue Oh, never will I roam Now I know my place is home Where the ocean meets the sky I'll be sailin' Oh, I've got lightning in my veins Shiftin' like the handle of a slot machine Love may still exist in another place I'm just yankin' back the handle, no expression on my face Oh, the rhythm of my heart Is beatin' like a drum With the words "I love you" Rolling off my tongue Oh, never will I roam Now I know my place is home Where the ocean meets the sky I'll be sailin' The rhythm of my heart Is beatin' like a drum With the words "I love you" Rolling off my tongue Never will I roam Now I know my place is home Where the ocean meets the sky I'll be sailin'
