Heartbeat

Down by the river wild, Running deep with rain
Bound here to sit and wait, For that sweet refrain

I thought I heard a voice ring out, It carried on the breeze
Like lover's laughter, pure and sweet, Calling after me

How has it come, my love, That we should be meeting here?
My mind filled with madness. My heart gripped with fear

She spoke nary a word, But her lips made me understand
The dark rivers of her hair, Flowing through my hands

Dreaming that you're still here
Awake to find no one there
I reach for sheets empty and cold
We were burning through the dark of night
But you vanish in the morning light
I'm here all alone. Lying here all alone
Your Hearbeat still haunting me
Long after you've gone

You came to me so sweetly. How could I resist?
Try as I might, But your hazel eyes insist
How cruel you were to love me. How cruel to be kind
How cruel to bring my heart to life and then leave me behind

Dreaming youre here with me
Awake again to tradgedy
I reach for sheets lifeless as stone
I held you throught the dark of night
But you vanish in the morning light
Im here all alone
Lying here all alone
Your heartbeat still haunting me
Long after you've gone

Sleep cannot be found On a night so cold and clear
I plead to these stars above As if they could hear
Please guide and protect her. Oh, can't you make her see?
Remind her of one who loves her. Please send her back to me

Dreaming that you're still here
Awake to find no one there
I reach for sheets empty and cold
We were burning through the dark of night
But you vanish in the morning light
I'm here all alone. Lying here all alone
Your Hearbeat still haunting me
Long after you've gone
