Across the street, the river runs
Down in the gutter, life is slipping away
Love may still be alive somewhere, some way
Running undercover of a helicopter blade
The flames are getting higher in effigy
Burning 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 beating like a drum
And the words "I love you"
Rolling off my tongue
Yeah, never will I roam
'Cause I know my place is home
Where the ocean meets the sky
I'll be sailing
♪
Photographs and kerosine
Light up the 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
And the words "I love you"
Rolling off my tongue
Yeah, never will I roam
'Cause I know my place is home
Where the ocean meets the sky
I'll be sailing
♪
Yeah, I've got lightning in my veins
Jerking like the handle on a slot machine
Love may still exist in another place
I'm just jerking back that handle
No expression on my face
Oh, the rhythm of my heart
Is beating like a drum
And the words "I love you"
Rolling off my tongue
The rhythm of my heart
Is beating like a drum
And the words "I love you"
Rolling off my tongue
Yeah, never will I roam
'Cause 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
And the words "I love you"
Rolling off my tongue
Yeah, never will I roam
'Cause I know my place is home
Where the ocean meets the sky
I'll be sailing
Oh, the rhythm of my heart
I got my eyes all over you
My baby
