Dear Heart

When I was dreaming I took my body
To beautiful places I’d never been
I saw Gibraltar and stars of Kentucky Burned in the moonlight, making me grin

But when I awoke here the sky was so cloudy I walk to a party where people I know
Try hard to know me and ask where I’ve been But I can’t explain what I’ve seen to them

Oh listen, dear heart
Just pay attention, you’re right from the start Oh listen, dear heart
You can fall off the map but don’t fall apart

When I was out there the ocean would hold me Rock me and throw me, light as a child
But now I’m so heavy, nothing consoles me
My mind floats like driftwood, wayward and wild

Oh listen, dear heart
Just pay attention, you’re right from the start Oh listen, dear heart
You can fall off the map but don’t fall apart
