Beat Of a Heart

Patty Smyth


The heat of the sun 
Was a little too much today 
Love on the wing 
Flew so high it just melted away 

So sweet on the run 
So little time to make you see 
What can't be undone 
Was maybe never meant to be 

But sometimes a fool 
Gets lucky and wins 
Sometimes the innocent pay 
For an old man's sin 

But when the amber light 
Of daylight's gone 
All I want to feel 
Is the beat of a heart 

The street that night 
Had a little too much to say 
And the look in your eyes 
It was a little too far away 

But sometimes a fool 
Gets lucky and wins 
Sometimes the innocent pay 
For an old man's sin 
Sometimes a fool 
Gets lucky and wins 
Sometimes the innocent pay 
For an old man's sin 

But when the amber light 
Of daylight's gone 
All I want to feel 
Is the beat of a heart 
Just a little life ticking away 
The beat of a heart 
You come take me far away (Musical Break) 

Sometimes a fool 
Gets lucky and wins 
Sometimes the innocent pay 
For an old man's sin 

But when the tears are dark 
And we stand as one 
All I want to feel 
And when the amber light 
Of daylight's gone 
All I want to hear 
Is the beat of a heart 
The beat of a heart 
You come and take me far away
