Runrig - Rhythm of my Heart

lyrics: ---

Across the street the river runs.
Down in the gutter life is slipping away.
Let me still exist in another place,
Running under cover
Of a helicopter blade

The flames are getting higher
In effigy.
Burning down the bridges of my memory.
Love may still be alive
Somewhere someday
Where they're downing only deer
A hundred steel towns away

Oh, rhythm of my heart
Is beating like a drum
With the words "I love you"
Rolling off my tongue.
No never will I roam,
For I know my place is home.
Where the ocean meets the sky,
I'll be sailing

Photographs and kerosene
Light up my 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, rhythm of my heart
Is beating like a drum
With the words "I love you"
Rolling off my tongue.
No never will I roam,
For I know my place is home.
Where the ocean meets the sky,
I'll be sailing

Oh, yeah

Oh, I've got lightning in my veins,
Shifting like the handle
Of a slot machine.
Love may still exist
In another place.
I'm just yanking back the handle,
No expression on my face

Oh, rhythm of my heart
Is beating like a drum
With the words "I love you"
Rolling off my tongue.
No never will I roam,
For I know my place is home.
Where the ocean meets the sky,
I'll be sailing
