Heart of Soul Lyrics

curl up inside me
c’mon hide for a while
look in your eyes i see
looking back is a child
that we, we dance a fine line
we didn’t take much time
you can’t watercolor a fire cracker
and you you’re laying face down
with your heart of soul
selling it cheap on the commercial rd

where is the love in your heart
c’mon put a little love in your heart
where is the love in your heart
c’mon put a little love in your heart

magpies and maelstroms
always hard hitting hailstorms
no blame no forgiveness
we consent and we complete this
and we, we dance at the precipice
when we get close like this
you can’t put out a fire with no crocodile
and me, i’m laying face down
so tell me what Neil Young said
you pick a flower then it’s dead

put a little love in your heart
c’mon put a little love in your heart
i don’t care how much religion you’ve got
you gotta put a little love in your heart

and you, you look at me in disbelief
like you could teach me God
when all of a sudden
i’m consumed by love
and you, are all lighting up
with your heart of gold
and everything we touch just turns to soul

put a little love in your heart
you know you put a little love in my heart
i gotta put a little love in your heart
c’mon put a little love in my heart
c’mon put a little love in your heart
i wanna feel a little love in my heart
i’m gonna put a little love in your heart
a whole lotta love in your heart
whole lotta love in your heart
there’s a whole lotta love in your heart

curl up inside me
c’mon hide for a while

Cover art for Heart of Soul lyrics by Beth Orton

wow, beth is so severely underappreciated that i have to make the first comment on a song that i submitted the lyrics to?

this comfort of strangers album is so strong overall, with so much emotion in her voice that seemed to be missing on daybreaker. and i think this song is the pinnacle of that emotion, both in her voice and in the lyrics. the lines that end with 'everything we touch just turns to soul' are so, so very powerful. and the references to Neil Young's "heart of gold" and "love is a rose" (love is a rose but you better not pick it / it only grows when it's on the vine) are pretty nice too
