Noah and the Whale
Heart Of Nowhere
[Introduction]
[Verse 1: Charlie Fink]
Your parents hide
They live in fear
They’re lying restless as the dawn gets near
You wanna live
You wanna try
You hear the whisper of the world outside
[Verse 2: Charlie Fink]
So take a chance and leave tonight
Sarah’s waiting in a car outside
You bumped the door
Your father wakes
You let your anger and your sadness break
[Chorus: Charlie Fink]
And when you turn around, he’s laid down on the ground
And now you’re standing with your finger on the pulse
And then an open door, two footsteps on the floor
And now you’re standing with your finger on the pulse
[Verse 3: Charlie Fink]
It’s Sarah’s face, her worried eyes
Pulls back the door and gently steps inside
The nighttime with a charcoal grin
The false diamonds on her pallid skin
[Chorus: Charlie Fink]
And when she turns around, he’s laid down on the ground
And now you’re standing with your finger on the pulse
And then an open door, two footsteps on the floor
And now you’re standing with your finger on the pulse
[Bridge: Anna Calvi]
If I don’t belong by you
I don’t belong anywhere
You know I’d follow you
To the heart of nowhere
It’s just two kinds of people
God-fearer and the godless, cowards and the faithless
And I would stand by you
