The Last Beat of My Heart
The lyrics
In the sharp gust of love
My memory stirred
When time wreathed a rose
A garland of shame
Its thorn my only delight
War torn, afraid to speak
We dare to breathe
Majestic
Imperial
A bridge of sighs
Solitude sails
In a wave of forgiveness
On angels' wings
Reach out your hands
Don't turn your back
Don't walk away
How
in the world
Can
I wish for this?
Never
to be torn apart
Close
to you
'Til
the last beat
Of
my heart
At the close of day
The sunset cloaks
These words in shadowplay
Here and now, long and loud
My heart cries out
And the naked bone of an echo says
Don't walk away
Reach out your hands
I'm just a step away
How
in the world
Can
I wish for this?
Never
to be torn apart
Close
to you
'Til
the last beat
Of
my heart
How
in the world
Can
I wish for this?
Never
to be torn apart
'Til
the last beat
'Til
the last fleeting beat
Of
my heart
