This Heart of Mine (From the Netflix Series "Virgin River")

Makin your way, to protest a war

Needed a ride, I opened the door

Hopped right on in, turned the radio dial

She changed the song in this heart of mine

And when we broke down, we camped by the creek

I played my guitar, she listened to me

That was the first night in my life

That someone could see through this heart of mine

Over and over the river it flows like the years disappearing in time

The days will move slow, but the pain’s going nowhere

Your hand couldn’t hold on to mine

And all the night’s awake

Just longing for the real thing

Over and over the river will carry me home

The turnpike of love

Is littered with wrecks

Some crash and some burn

Some lose their direction

But you stayed the course

And drove thru the night

And Knocked on my door and this heart of mine

A mother can dream

Her baby will grow

To find a love, a love of her own

Someone who’s strong

And stands by her side

The one I can trust with this love of mine

Over and over the river it flows like the years disappearing in time

The days will move slow, but the pain’s going nowhere

Your hand couldn’t hold on to mine

And all the night’s awake

Just longing for the real thing

Over and over the river will carry you home

It’s harder to love

When you know the cost

And you can’t forget all that you lost

But you brought me back

Out from the pines

You saved my soul and this heart of mine

Over and over the river it flows like the years disappearing in time

The days will move slow, but the pain’s going nowhere

Your hand couldn’t hold on to mine

And all the night’s awake

Just longing for the real thing

Over and over the river will carry me home
