Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We see a mother with no child
We meet a stranger poor, exiled
How's the heart while it still beats?
Asks a no-one
Another John Doe
[Verse 2]
Sorrow hides well in your shell
A fellow man with hurt to spare
Dear one
Here I am to share the fear
An act of kindness
Without an amen
[Verse 3]
How's the heart
Underneath the silence?
How's the one
Drowning in the mire?
Let us sound a human paean
Come in, the fire's warm
Burn the rope and dance some more
[Verse 4]
We met where the cliff greets the sea
Shared a story, took the leap
Rose up rooted, hid a note
You know where
You've been there
[Verse 5]
Now there's one who came from me
A child of light, another tale
Dear one
Night will come but not to stay
Why?
The answer's in the
[Verse 6]
How's the heart
Underneath the silence?
How's the one
Drowning in the mire?
Let us sound a human paean
Come in, the fire's warm
Burn the rope and dance some more
[Verse 7]
Fair winds my love
Fly towards the calm
Fly utterly lost
Towards a beating heart
A beating heart
[Verse 8]
How is that heart
Underneath the silence?
How is the one
Drowning in the mire?
Let us sound a human paean
Come on in, the fire's warm
[Verse 9]
How is that heart
Underneath the silence?
How is the one
Drowning in the mire?
Let us sound a human paean
Come on in, the fire's warm
[Verse 10]
How's that heart
Underneath the silence?
How's the one
Drowning in the mire?
Let us sound a human paean
Come on in
[Verse 11]
How's that heart
Underneath the silence?
How's the one
Drowning in the mire?
Let us sound a human paean
Come on in, the fire's warm
Dull the blade and dance some more
[Verse 12]
How's that heart?
How's the one
Drowning in the mire?
Let us sound a human paean
Come on in, the fire's warm
Dull the blade and dance some more
[Verse 13]
How's that heart
Underneath the silence?
How's the one
Drowning in the mire?
Let us sound a human paean
Come in, the fire's warm
Burn the rope and dance some more
