Patty Smyth - Beat Of A Heart lyrics

The heat of the sun Was a little too much today Love on the wing Flew so high it just melted away So sweet on the run So little time to make you see What can't be undone Was maybe never meant to be But sometimes a fool Gets lucky and wins Sometimes the innocent pay For an old man's sin But when the amber light Of daylight's gone All I want to feel Is the beat of a heart The street that night Had a little too much to say And the look in your eyes It was a little too far away But sometimes a fool Gets lucky and wins Sometimes the innocent pay For an old man's sin Sometimes a fool Gets lucky and wins Sometimes the innocent pay For an old man's sin But when the amber light Of daylight's gone All I want to feel Is the beat of a heart Just a little life ticking away The beat of a heart You come take me far away (Musical Break) Sometimes a fool Gets lucky and wins Sometimes the innocent pay For an old man's sin But when the tears are dark And we stand as one All I want to feel And when the amber light Of daylight's gone All I want to hear Is the beat of a heart The beat of a heart You come and take me far away
