The Last Beat Of My Heart Lyrics

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
