Lisa Gungor - The Beat Of Her Heart lyrics

She was a tempest Her beauty a storm Oh her eyes they were filled with the sun She would dance while I played her my songs The earth stood while she danced alone He was a tempest His craving a storm He lusted her body from deep in the grove Enraptured or captured Betrayed or betrothed She would be his She’d be his alone So she ran, oh she ran from the satyr’s chase She ran for her love and her life She tred on a snake Venom replaced both the beat of her heart and the song in mine sponsored links The beat of her heart and the song in mine The music was morning A requiem cry I wept with my songs for the love of my life It broke all the hearts of the gods in the skies I played my guitar and the earth opened wide How I played, oh I played in the underworld Oh, I played for my love and her life Oh, I pled with the gods Give her back Give a beat to her heart and a song to mine The beat of her heart and the song in mine Hades responded, a glint in his eye I grant you your plea You may leave with your wife With one small request I suggest you obey You musn’t look back as you walk away So we ran oh we ran to the dawning light Oh we ran for our love and our lives Once again I would hear the sweet sound of the beat of her heart And the song in mine The beat of her heart and the song in mine My mind was a tempest My doubt was a storm I turned back to see She really had come Just as our eyes met She faded from sight That’s when I knew I would never find The beat of her heart or the song in mine
