Beat of Her Heart

<p>[Verse 1]<br/>She was a tempest<br/>Her beauty a storm<br/>Oh her eyes they were filled with the sun<br/>She would dance while I played her my songs<span><br/>The earth stood while she danced alone<br/><br/>[Verse 2]<br/>He<span> was a tempest<br/>His craving a storm<br/>He lusted her body from deep in the grove<br/>Enraptured or captured<br/>Betrayed or betrothed<br/>She would be his<br/>She’d be his alone<br/>[Chorus 1]<br/>So she ran<br/>Oh, she ran from the satyr’s<span> chase<br/>She ran for her love and her life<br/>She tred on a snake<br/>Venom replaced both the beat of her heart and the song in mine<span><br/>The beat of her heart and the song in mine<br/><br/>[Verse 3]<br/>The music was morning<br/>A requiem cry<br/>I wept with my songs for the love of my life<br/>It broke all the hearts of the gods in the skies<br/>I played my guitar and the earth opened wide<span><br/><br/>[Chorus 2]<br/>How I played<br/>Oh, I played in the underworld<br/>Oh, I played for my love and her life<br/>Oh, I pled with the gods<br/>Give her back<br/>Give a beat to her heart and a song to mine<br/>The beat of her heart and the song in mine<br/><br/>[Verse 4]<br/>Hades responded, a glint in his eye<br/>I grant you your plea<br/>You may leave with your wife<br/>With one small request<br/>I suggest you obey<br/>You musn’t look back as you walk away<br/>[Chorus 3]<br/>So we ran<br/>Oh, we ran to the dawning light<br/>Oh, we ran for our love and our lives<br/>Once again I would hear the sweet sound of the beat of her heart<br/>And the song in mine<br/>The beat of her heart and the song in mine<br/><br/>[Verse 5]<br/>My mind was a tempest<br/>My doubt was a storm<br/>I turned back to see<br/>She really had come<br/>Just as our eyes met<br/>She faded from sight<br/>That’s when I knew I would never find<br/>The beat of her heart or the song in mine<span>
