Across the street, the river runs

Down in the gutter, life is slipping away

Let me still exist in another place

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 day

Where they're downing only deer

A hundred steel towns away



Oh, the 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, the 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 (bis)



(Bridge)

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, the rhythm of my heart

Is beating like a drum

With the words "I love you"

Rolling off my tongue

Oh, never will I roam

For I know my place is home

Where the ocean meets the sky

I'll be sailing



The rhythm of my heart

Is beating like a drum

With the words "I love you"

Rolling off my tongue

Never will I roam

For I know my place is home

Where the ocean meets the sky

I'll be sailing
