The Last Beat Of My Heart - Siouxsie And The Banshees

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 on 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

Till 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

Till the last beat of my heart

How in the world can I wish for this?

Never to be torn apart

Close to you

Till the last beat of my heart

Close to you

Till the last beat of my heart

'Til the last fleeting beat

Of my heart
