Intro:

A Section:

So breathes the sacred heart,
The only heart I’ve ever known
We leave the world in parts,
The endless mill of blood and bones

B Section:

I needed something more
than days, the days they wouldn’t go
I needed something more
Than hearts I could not know.

Instrument:

A Section:

The ruins of our art
Are hidden beneath endless stone
So breathes the sacred heart,
The only heart I’ve ever known

B Section:

I needed something more
than days, the days they wouldn’t go
I needed something more
Than hearts I could not know.

C Section:

Weeping, waiting,
Hearts are fading
To the oceans
Calling my name

D Section:

I knew the day would come when voices faded
I hope to leave this place, my heart unjaded
I hoped to carry hearts into the ocean
In devotion
Until the end of time . . . it’s right.

Instrumental:

C Section:

Frantic, flutter
Coals and mutters
To the oceans
Where is my shame

D Section:

I knew the day would come
When voices faded,
I hoped to leave this place
My heart unjaded
I hoped to carry hearts into the ocean
In devotion
O.  Sacred hearts . . . all right

A Section:

So breathes the sacred heart,
The only heart I’ve ever known
We leave the world in parts,
The endless mill of blood and bones

B Section:

I needed something more
than days, the days they wouldn’t go
I needed something more
Than hearts I could not know.
