Paul Kelly - Beat Of Your Heart lyrics

Here it comes again, the burning in the blood The pounding in my brain, the rising of the flood Every night I pray, begging sleep to come But it's so far away Way behind the drumbeat of your heart I remember well a night of falling snow Reading you a tale from Edgar Allen Poe By the firelight, how your dark eyes shone I had no idea it would be so strong The beat of your heart! Your midnight cry, your morning song Your salty tears, your honey tongue Every night I pray, begging sleep to come But it's so far away Way behind the drumbeat of your heart
