David Michael Schmidt Black Heart Lyrics

The winds can't blow / through walls of stone
My love won't live / when left alone
You tear my flesh / I feel your pain
A glint of light / reveals the stain
You stopped all time / the sun went black
I close my eyes / and pray you back

Chorus:
A black heart will feel like bone
It's cold and dark and hard as stone
That silver band has turned to rust
It held a bond of lasting trust

Time lost it's way / in a maze of fear
My eyes are wet / and it's hard to steer
If I had a sail / I would catch a breeze And follow the flow / to the seven seas
I see a light / a dream is new
I hear a note / I thought you knew

Chorus:
A black heart will feel like bone
It's cold and dark and hard as stone
That silver band has turned to rust
It held a bond of lasting trust

The night so dark / I miss the light
I press my face / and hold on tight
I tell the wind / to call your name
I see your face / inside a frame
A heart can't live / on blood alone
I hold my breath / to hear it moan
