Beat of a Heart Lyrics
The heat of the sun
Was a little too much today
Love on the wing
Flew so high it just melted away
So sweet on the run
So little time to make you see
What can't be undone
Was maybe never meant to be
But sometimes a fool
Gets lucky and wins
Sometimes the innocent pay
For an old man's sin
But when the amber light
Of daylight's gone
All I want to feel
Is the beat of a heart
The street that night
Had a little too much to say
And the look in your eyes
It was a little too far away
But sometimes a fool
Gets lucky and wins
Sometimes the innocent pay
For an old man's sin
Sometimes a fool
Gets lucky and wins
Sometimes the innocent pay
For an old man's sin
But when the amber light
Of daylight's gone
All I want to feel
Is the beat of a heart
Just a little life ticking away
The beat of a heart
You come take me far away (Musical Break)
Sometimes a fool
Gets lucky and wins
Sometimes the innocent pay
For an old man's sin
But when the tears are dark
And we stand as one
All I want to feel
And when the amber light
Of daylight's gone
All I want to hear
Is the beat of a heart
The beat of a heart
You come and take me far away
Was a little too much today
Love on the wing
Flew so high it just melted away
So little time to make you see
What can't be undone
Was maybe never meant to be
Gets lucky and wins
Sometimes the innocent pay
For an old man's sin
Of daylight's gone
All I want to feel
Is the beat of a heart
Had a little too much to say
And the look in your eyes
It was a little too far away
Gets lucky and wins
Sometimes the innocent pay
For an old man's sin
Sometimes a fool
Gets lucky and wins
Sometimes the innocent pay
For an old man's sin
Of daylight's gone
All I want to feel
Is the beat of a heart
Just a little life ticking away
The beat of a heart
You come take me far away (Musical Break)
Gets lucky and wins
Sometimes the innocent pay
For an old man's sin
And we stand as one
All I want to feel
And when the amber light
Of daylight's gone
All I want to hear
Is the beat of a heart
The beat of a heart
You come and take me far away
