Siouxsie And The Banshees - The Last Beat Of My Heart lyrics

rate me

In the sharp gust of love My memory stirred When time wreathed a rose A garland of shame Its thorn my only delight War torn, afraid to speak We dare to breathe Majestic Imperial A bridge of sighs Solitude sails In a wave of forgiveness On angels' wings Reach out your hands Don't turn your back Don't walk away How in the world Can I wish for this? Never to be torn apart Close to you 'Til the last beat Of my heart At the close of day The sunset cloaks These words in shadowplay Here and now, long and loud My heart cries out And the naked bone of an echo says Don't walk away Reach out your hands I'm just a step away How in the world Can I wish for this? Never to be torn apart Close to you 'Til the last beat Of my heart How in the world Can I wish for this? Never to be torn apart 'Til the last beat 'Til the last fleeting beat Of my heart (Thanks to Ally665 for these lyrics)
