Heart Of A Girl

  • Looking out my window
    An angel in robes appeared and nearly pulled me apart
    A million miles of freedom, a million miles of road,
    But I still don't know where to start

    She wrote her number down
    And she gave it to me
    They had to scrape me off the floor
    In this transient town, waiters and dealers
    Trying to get their foot in the door

    That night I called her and she said
    "Daddy daddy daddy, all my life
    I've been trying to find my place in the world"
    And I said to her
    "Baby baby babe, I got all night to listen to the heart of a girl"

    I can see the time drippin' down the clock,
    We've been trying to hear that ancient refrain
    It's the one that knows just when our heads are down
    And reminds us of the place from where we came
    Where we came

    "Daddy daddy daddy, all my life
    I've been trying to find my place in this world"
    "Baby baby babe, I got all night to listen to the heart of a girl"

    What happened here, what is this world?
    It's too far from the heart of a girl
    A ripple in the water
    From the drop of a pearl
    I'm on the shore waitin'
    For the heart of a girl

    Many doors, knock on one
    Standin' still, time is raging
    Staring down the mouth of a hundred thousand guns
    And you're still here, you're still here

    I believe that we never have to be alone
    Yes I believe it's just around the bend
    You can hold it in
    Or you can scream it on a microphone
    There is no end (there is no end)
    There is no end (there is no end)

    And, deep in the night, I feel the presence
    Of something that was long ago told to me
    There is a hand, guiding the river
    The river to wide open sea
    And deep in my heart, in and again
    On any mountain, no I'm not afraid
    Standing on stone, you stand beside me
    And honor the plans that were made Writer/s: BRANDON FLOWERS, DANIEL ROLAND LANOIS, DAVE BRENT KEUNING, MARK AUGUST STOERMER, RONNIE JR. VANNUCCI
