Across the street, the river runs
Down in the gutter, life is slippin' away
Let me still exist in another place
Runnin' undercover of a helicopter blade

The flames are gettin' higher in effigy
Burnin' down the bridges of my memory
Love may still be alive somewhere, some way
Where they're downin' only deer
A hundred steel towns away

Oh, the rhythm of my heart
Is beatin' like a drum
With the words "I love you"
Rollin' off my tongue
Oh, never will I roam
Now I know my place is home
Where the ocean meets the sky
I'll be sailin'

Photographs, kerosine
Light my darkness, light it up, light it up
Love may still be alive somewhere, some way
Where they're downin' only deer
A hundred steel towns away
Oh, the rhythm of my heart
Is beatin' like a drum
With the words "I love you"
Rollin' off my tongue
Oh, never will I roam
Now I know my place is home
Where the ocean meets the sky
I'll be sailin'

Oh, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la
Oh, la-la-la-la-la-la-la
I'll be sailin'
Oh, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la
Oh, la-la-la-la-la-la-la
I'll be sailin'

Oh, the rhythm of my heart
Is beatin' like a drum
With the words "I love you"
Rollin' off my tongue
Oh, never will I roam
Now I know my place is home
Where the ocean meets the sky
I'll be sailin'

Oh, the rhythm of my heart
Is beatin' like a drum
With the words "I love you"
Rollin' off my tongue
Oh, never will I roam
Now I know my place is home
Where the ocean meets the sky
I'll be sailin'
