Keeper of my Heart
------ -- -- -----
(Amy Ray)
For you, I would tattoo me
With lines crossing into a hand,
and a heart that would never bleed.
The twilight and the horse
Drawn on my arm
Standing for addiction,
Pray we go unharmed.
here is my love and anger
these are my gods, these are my scars
here is my love and anger
my arms are burning, but they're open wide.
Some things, I hold too tightly.
Some things, I'll never I'll never touch.
I'm wearing down the stones
In the river
All my life, I've painted
With anger's brush
here is my love and anger
these are your gods, these are my scars
lift me through my love and anger
these arms are burning, but they're open wide.
Oh, you precious kid
I have a motion just for you.
A warrior, barefoot and dancing
With tears of pain and beauty
All of this is true for you
lift me through my love and anger
these are my gods, these are your scars.
lift me through my love and anger
my arms are burning but they're open wide.
Pointing out the graveyards
I will be the reaper
If you will be
The keeper of my heart.
