The Last Beat Of My Heart Lyrics - Devotchkas

In the sharp gust of love 

My memory stirred 

When time wreathed a rose 

A garland of shame 

Its thorn my only delight 

War torn, afraid to speak 

We dare to breathe 

Majestic 

Imperial 

A bridge of sighs 

Solitude sails 

In a wave of forgiveness 

On angels' wings 

Reach out your hands 

Don't turn your back 

Don't walk away 

How in the world 

Can I wish for this? 

Never to be torn apart 

Close to you 

'Til the last beat 

Of my heart 

At the close of day 

The sunset cloaks 

These words in shadowplay 

Here and now, long and loud 

My heart cries out 

And the naked bone of an echo says 

Don't walk away 

Reach out your hands 

I'm just a step away 

How in the world 

Can I wish for this? 

Never to be torn apart 

Close to you 

'Til the last beat 

Of my heart
