as we lay there in the dark you said you could hear my heart then you started to cry cause one day i m gonna die when the body slows what the heart just knows is that the soul lets go where does it go i don t know oh now i don t believe in jesus as anything but a man i worry that religion is doing less good than bad and i know that that makes a lot of good people mad what the heart just knows you feel it in your bones is that the soul lets go where does it go i don t know oh and i m scared that when they call me up will i have done enough i cannot see how but as we lay there in the dark darlin i could hear your heart pound and i know that without that sound mine would probably give out when the body slows what the heart just knows is that the soul lets go where does it go oh i could get down on my knees but i don t know oh and you don t know and no one knows i just don t know
