The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter

Artists : Anniversary, The : The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter

the muscle and bone
they encase my heart but never touch my soul.
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.
the flesh and the blood
they keep my body warm but still my mind is cold
to know what's fair is not always fair,
but 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 isle rests quiet this time of year
and i know you will be leaving soon my dear.
