Styx - Quick Is The Beat Of My Heart lyrics

rate me

Written by Lewis Mark

Lead vocals by James Young

if it's my time to die today

please God oh make it fast

balanced on this point for a year and half

I just don't think I can last

there's a man who's laid to rest

the man who gave me my start

I wish I could quit but I can't and it's rough

quick is the beat of my heart

quick is the beat of my heart

so please all you people

don't you grieve for me

the blood in my veins is black and I can't bleed

I've suffered the pain

and all I can face is the dark

oh, Lord, quick is the beat of my heart

quick is the beat of my heart

now my bags are almost packed

the train's about to depart

I wish I could quit but I can't and it's rough

quick is the beat of my heart

quick is the beat of my heart

quick is the beat of my heart

quick is the beat of my heart

quick is the beat of my heart

quick is the beat of my heart

if it's my time to die...
