The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter Lyrics

the muscle and bone, they encase my heart, never touch my soul. cuz i'll save that for the water and it's shore, fear makes friends with joy.
and i'll march slowly and i'll never forget how the music stopped or the feel of your breath... (4x)
the muscle and blood, they keep my body warm, still my mind is cold. to know what's fair is not always fair, what proves real will never flee.
and i'll march slowly and i'll never forget how that black dress fell upon your white neck. grand aisle, best white this time of year, and i know you will be leaving soon, my dear.

It would have been nice to exercise some kind of spacing and punctuation. Also, it's: "The flesh and the blood," Not the muscle and blood.

The Anniversary wrote this song based on the novel The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter by Carson McCullers.

Short Description fo the book (from DooYoo books): Set in the American South, this is the story of a group of people who appear to have little in common except they are all hopelessly lonely. A young girl, a drunken socialist and a black doctor are drawn to a gentle, sympathetic deaf mute, John Singer, whose presence changes their lives.

Great Opening song, to me one of the greatest albums ever made. Sequencing, Song writing, Vocals. Etc its all there. Not even my favorite band, but this cd is simply a masterpiece. It deserves to mentioned in the same light as O.K. Computer
