Unvanquished Hearts
July 18, 2006
It’s like a hurricane wind came down and
Sucked all the life like a vacuum right out of me
Rising up like a pillar in a black cloud
And rained down my soul right into the sea
Still you stood right here beside me anyway
Weather-beaten washed up on the shore
Unvanquished hearts beating to the fury
Of a passion for life never felt before
And the clock keeps ticking like a knife-blade Cutting deeper into the vein of time Life is running like a faucet wide-open What doesn’t spill down the drain I’m taking as mine If I could only sing myself into a place Where you and I could celebrate the glory Finding our way to the center of the labyrinth And filling up the pages of the story
You shone on me like a lighthouse beacon Staved me off the jagged rocks of denial Tried to navigate through the narrows Still ended up in a downward-spiral I hold your face in my hands and I kiss your smile We both know that our aim is true And I look over my shoulder briefly Acknowledging the storm we both passed through
And the clock keeps ticking like a knife-blade Cutting deeper into the vein of time Life is running like a faucet wide-open What doesn’t spill down the drain I’m taking as mine If I could only sing myself into a place Where you and I could celebrate the glory Finding our way to the center of the labyrinth And filling up the pages of the story
You shone on me like a lighthouse beacon Staved me off the jagged rocks of denial Tried to navigate through the narrows Still ended up in a downward-spiral I hold your face in my hands and I kiss your smile We both know that our aim is true And I look over my shoulder briefly Acknowledging the storm we both passed through
