The Captive Heart - Brendan Perry - DEAD CAN DANCE - Eye of the Hunter (2003)

The Captive Heart

The old clock is ticking now
Marks the space between us
Your memory enshrouds my heart
For I am held a captive

Sometimes my soul desires
To take leave of this old world
To spread these golden wings and fly
To the city of angels

But then if I close my eyes
I can see you standing there
Your face in permanence smiles
Your lips a chalice

Seems like I've loved you all my life
Never thought I'd find you
Some day the muse may lend these words wings
So I can touch you

The old clock is ticking now
Marks the space between us
Your memory enshrouds my heart
For I am held a captive
Seems like I've loved you all my life
Never thought I'd find you
Some day the muse may lend these words wings
So I can touch you

But hey!
Don't worry if the feelings not strong for you
I have lived my life in accordance
To the windfalls of passion
Though I know what it means
To be loved and then forgotten
I have seen too many men
Driven insane by their distractions

B.P. SOUNDS (AND LOOKS) JUST LIKE GEORGE NICHOLAS FROM CERNUNNOS RISING, SCARILY ALIKE.

BOTH MY FAVOURITE ARTISTS, AND ESPECIALLY LOVE CERNUNNOS RISING'S "GREEN MAN" SONG, BEAUTIFUL TRACK.

THIS SONG IS BEAUTIFUL

I prefer the version from KCRW's "Morning Becomes Eclectic" CD, but this version is pretty good, too.

Check my upload of The Captive Heart by Brendan Perry.. shorter and IMO a better version. Not wanting to take away this production of the song, I just think it's a little too over produced.

I love the ending it's so not satisfying it almost hurts
