Rhythm Of My Heart lyrics by Rod Stewart
Across the street the river runsDown in the gutter
life is slipping away
Let me still exist in another place
Running under cover
of a helicopter blade
Flames getting higher in effigy
Burning down the bridges
of my memory
Love may still be alive
somewhere someway
where they're downing only deer
a hundred steel towns away
Oh the rhythm of my heart
is beating like a drum
with the words 'I love you'
rolling off my tongue
No never will I roam
for I know my place is home
where the ocean meets the sky
I'll be sailing
Photographs and kerosene
light up my darkness
light it up, light it up, light it up
I can still feel the touch
of your thin blue jeans
Running down the alley
I've got my eyes all over you babe
Oh the rhythm of my heart
is beating like a drum
with the words 'I love you'
rolling off my tongue
Never will I roam
for I know my place is home
where ocean meets the sky
I'll be sailing
I'll be sailing
Sailing
Oh I've got lightning in my veins
shifting like the handle
of a slot machine
Love may still exist
in another place
I'm just yanking back the handle
no expression on my face
Oh rhythm of my heart
is beating like a drum
with the words 'I love you'
rolling off my tongue
Never will I roam
for I know my place is home
where the ocean meets the sky
I'll be sailing
Oh rhythm of my heart
is beating like a drum
with the words 'I love you'
rolling off my tongue
No, never will I roam
for I know my place is home
Ocean meets the sky
I'll be sailing
Rhythm of my heart
is beating like a drum
with the words 'I love you'
off my tongue
Never will I roam
for I know my place is home
where ocean meets the sky
I'll be sailing
