Heart Attack

Out of every woman in the universe
He came right up to me, maybe
I should feel grateful to be chosen
Oh he wants to make a mother of me
Now it seems so hard to believe
Cuz he was nowhere in sight,
Maybe 30 good years
Well baby’s all grown up
And can see him bleeding,
Barely breathing
This child that you created
For what?
Just to watch me
say goodbye to my son?
When he moved
Oh it felt like music
The rhythm called
And I answered to it
Just a little step towards him
Then another one and no turning back
That’s when he hits you
With the heart attack
You made from me some ordinary
Queen of heaven and earth
With a crown of stars shining bright above
Is that what you think I deserve?
Is that what you think this was worth?
When he moved
Oh it felt like music
The rhythm called
And I answered to it
Just a little step towards him
Then another one and no turning back
That’s when he hits you
With the heart attack
And it hits you like a heart attack
That your baby’s gone, not coming back
And you want to go with him so bad
But there isn’t any going back
When he moved
Oh it felt like music
The rhythm called
And I answered to it
Just a little step towards him
Then another one and no turning back
That’s when he hits you
With the heart attack
And it hits you like a heart attack
That your baby’s gone, not coming back
And you want to go with him so bad
But there isn’t any going back
No there isn’t any going back
No there isn’t any going back
To the life you used to have

Long Gone

She used to be a little girl
Lying with her head in the sand, she
Didn’t understand
It was finally over
Oh yeah she was just a little girl
Little young to remember you
Her only story is
The one that I told her
How you were gone, gone, long gone
Every other day of her life
Had to be awfully strong
You left me in the heat of the night
With a child to raise
With a child to raise
Heard you might of met another woman
A little down the shore
And nobody’s pretending
it never happened before
She had so much
Maybe too much
To offer
But you’ll be gone, gone, long gone
every other day of her life,
Bet she’ll be awfully strong
When you leave her in the heat of the night
With a child to raise
With a child to raise
Guess it gets easier to disappear
When you don’t care about her tomorrow
But there’s nothing that I wouldn’t do
To take away her sorrow
Oh well you’re gone, gone, long gone
Every other day of her life
Had to be awfully strong
Just a memory in the heat of the night
And a child to raise
And a child to raise

Giving it up, oh you’re say you’re
Giving up, and I believe you’re
Giving it everything you have
Trying to take what you can grab, but
It isn’t enough
I guess it isn’t enough
And you feel alone, yeah I hear you
You’re feeling alone, and you’re replaying
Every time that things went wrong
Keeping on hearing the same old song
You know how it goes
You know how it goes
Oh if anything I did
Would do any anything at all
I would do it
You’re so terrified of noise
What you’re trying to avoid
Is the music
When you face the darkness
When you face the darkness
When you face the darkness is there
Anything left?
This is the part, where you tell me
What’s in your heart, I’ve seen it on the
Beautiful television screen
I look at you, you look at me
And there’s a light in the dark
Yeah there’s a light in the dark
Oh if anything I did
Would do any anything at all
I would do it
You’re so terrified of noise
What you’re trying to avoid
Is the music
When you face the darkness
When you face the darkness
When you face the darkness is there
Anything left?
You know what keeps me up
You know it keeps me up
You know what keeps me up
Thinking of you
You know what keeps me up
You know it keeps me up
You know what keeps me up
Thinking of you
When you face the darkness
When you face the darkness
When you face the darkness is there
Anything left?
