Anna Calvi
The Heart of You
[Verse 1]
There is a darkness
A heaviness that is concealed
Inside these boundaries
Inside a plain of frozen fields
There are no weapons
No sharpened blows to be sustained
No, only malice
And the tapping of the rain
[Hook]
But there’s a dream I keep
In a world so dark and deep
The one true paradox
I’m terrified to meet
There’s a dream I keep
I go in when I sleep
There’s nothing they can do
No one will keep me from the heart of you
[Verse 2]
You are illicit
You are the shield against the fire
Of all that’s hollow
Of all the bodies on the pyre
