Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The footprints over the snow
The fabric of all the lonely
C-coverin' only the fables and hands
The rest is out in the cold
Holdin' the last of the season
F-f-f-freezin', yeah
[Verse 2]
My, my, my heart like a kick drum
My, my heart like a kick drum
My, my heart like a kick drum
My, my love like a voice
[Verse 3]
We're walkin' into the fields
We're walkin' into the forest
The moon is before us, up above
We're holdin' hands in the rain
S-sayin' words like I love you
D-d-do you love me, yeah
[Verse 4]
My, my, my heart like a kick drum
My, my heart like a kick drum
My, my heart like a kick drum
My, my love like a voice
[Verse 5]
Mother Mary heard us approaching her door
Although we didn't make a sound
[Verse 6]
There's nothin' findin' gold
Within the rocks, hard and cold
I'm so surprised to find more
Always surprised to find more
[Verse 7]
I won't look back anymore
I left the people that do
It's not the chase that I love
It's me followin' you
[Verse 8]
My, my heart like a kick drum
My, my heart like a kick drum
My, my heart like a kick drum
My, my love like a voice
[Verse 9]
My, my heart like a kick drum
