The Last Beat Of My Heart lyrics

In the sharp gust of love

My memory stirred

When time wreathed a rose

A garland of shame

It's thorn my only delight

War torn, afraid to speak

We dare to breathe

Majestic

Imperial

A bridge of sighs

Solitude sails

In a wave of forgiveness

On angels' wings

Reach out your hands

Don't turn your back

Don't walk away

How in the world

Can I wish for this?

Never to be torn apart

Close to you

'til the last beat

Of my heart

At the close of day

The sunset cloaks

These words in shadowplay

Here and now, long and loud

My heart cries out

And the naked bone of an echo says

Don't walk away

Reach out your hands

I'm just a step away

How in the world

Can I wish for this?

Never to be torn apart

Close to you

'til the last beat

Of my heart

How in the world

Can I wish for this?

Never to be torn apart

'til the last beat

'til the last fleeting beat

Of my heart
