In the silence of the side street

In the whisper of the night

From the darkness of the empty hours

To the early morning light

From the hustle down on main street

With all it's lights so bright

To the trucker on the highway

Pressing through the night



I can hear you heartbeat

I can hear you heartbeat

Girl, the sound of you is so sweet



I'm in a european disco

And it's thumping up the beat

There's a jukebox in a cafe‚

Where the younger ones can meet

We got freezing coca-cola

We got anything you want

I'm moving on that back beat

Girl, but it's you that sings the song



'cos i can hear you heartbeat

I can hear you heartbeat

The sound of you is so sweet



And i'm sailing on your wind song

Oh, i can feel the summer breeze

You've got me walking on my tiptoes

You've got me standing on my knees

From the mills way down in pittsburgh

To the clubs of gay paris

No matter where i roam, girl,

You can always get to me



And i still hear your heartbeat

Yea i still hear your heartbeat

Girl, the sound of you is so sweet,

To me



* from the screaming desolation

* of the english northern coast

* that's where i met my darling

* that's where we made the most

* made the most of what we got

* we made the most of what we got



And i still hear your heartbeat

Yea i still hear your heartbeat

Girl, the sound of you is so sweet,

To me
