across the street the river runs down in the gutter life is slipping away let me still exist in another place running under cover of a helicopter blade the flames are getting higher in effigy burning down the bridges of my memory love may still be alive somewhere someway where they re downing only deer a hundred steel towns away oh the rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum with the words i love you rolling off my tongue no never will i roam for i know my place is home where the ocean meets the sky i ll be sailing photographs and kerosene light up my darkness light it up light it up i can still feel the touch of your thin blue jeans running down the alley i ve got my eyes all over you baby oh baby oh the rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum with the words i love you rolling off my tongue no never will i roam for i know my place is home where the ocean meets the sky i ll be sailing oh i ve got lightning in my veins shifting like the handle of a slot machine love may still exist in another place i m just holding back the handle no expression on my face oh the rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum with the words i love you rolling off my tongue no never will i roam for i know my place is home where the ocean meets the sky i ll be sailing oh the rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum with the words i love you rolling off my tongue no never will i roam for i know my place is home where the ocean meets the sky i ll be sailing oh the rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum with the words i love you rolling off my tongue no never will i roam for i know my place is home where the ocean meets the sky i ll be sailing
