Rhythm Of My Heart

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 someway
 Where they're downing only deer, a hundred steel towns away
 Oh, 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 the 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
