Heart Of Wilderness Lyrics - Big Head Todd And The Monsters

If only there were time and tenderness 

Oh, for young hearts of wilderness 

We run to the city, we build our nest 

We work, we get drunk, we make love 

But your love won't take me from the graves to the heavens 

Your love won't take me from the graves to the heavens 

Before I'm gone your arms will be holding some other man 

Before I'm gone your arms will be holding some other man 

In this heart of wilderness 

In this heart of wilderness 

Come with me and take my hand 

We'll run and dream in this heart 

This time I won't turn out the light 

Oh, this time I won't turn out the light 

Make believe everything's alright 

Kiss my lover a cold good night 

Morning turns to noon and noon to night 

Oh, morning turns to noon and noon to night 

My heart is still filled with fright 

I'm still the same broken piece of clay 

In this heart of wilderness 

In this heart of wilderness 

Come with me and take my hand 

We'll run and dream in this heart, ohh 

I've been dreaming of something underneath the hill 

Just around the bin and underneath the hill 

A fortune in wood and steel 

In restaurants and people without names 

Oh sweet Jesus, I'm a broken man 

Oh sweet Jesus, I'm a broken man 

All I did was follow the plan 

But what I wouldn't do to be loved 

In this heart of wilderness 

In this heart of wilderness 

Come with me and take my hand 

We'll run and dream in this heart 

Mine's the heart of wilderness 

Don't go in there if you know what's best
