Rhythm of My Heart

Across the street the river runs

Down in the gutter, life is slippin' away

Love may still exist in another place

Runnin' undercover of a helicopter blade

Flames are gettin' higher in effigy

Burnin' down the bridges of my memory

Love may still be alive somewhere, some way

Where they're downin' only deer

A hundred steel towns away

Oh, the rhythm of my heart

Is beatin' like a drum

With the words I love you

Rollin' off my tongue

No, never will I roam

For I know my place is home

Where the ocean meets the sky

I'll be sailin'

Photographs and kerosene

Light up my darkness

Light it up, light it up

I can still feel a touch

Of your thin blue jeans

Runnin' down the alley

I've got my eyes all over you baby, oh, baby

Ah, the rhythm of my heart

Is beatin' like a drum

With the words I love you

Rollin' off my tongue

No, never will I roam

For I know my place is home

Where the ocean meets the sky

I'll be sailin'

I'll be sailin'

Ah, yeah

Oh, I've got lightnin' in my veins

Slippin' like a handle of a slot machine

Love may still exist in another place

I'm just yankin' back the handle

No expression on my face

Ah, the rhythm of my heart

Is beatin' like a drum

With the words I love you

Rollin' off my tongue

Oh, never will I roam

For I know my place is home

Where the ocean meets the sky

I'll be sailin'

Ah, the rhythm of my heart

Is beatin' like a drum

With the words I love you

Rollin' off my tongue

No, never will I roam

For 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

The words I love you

Rollin' off my tongue

Never will I roam

For I know my place is home

Where the ocean meets the sky

I'll be sailin'

Ooh-ooh
