Heart Of A Girl

Looking out my window
An angel in robes appeared and nearly pulled me apart
A million miles of freedom  a million miles of road
But I still don't know where to start
She wrote her number down
And she gave it to me
They had to scrape me off the floor
In this transient town  waiters and dealers
Trying to get their foot in the door
That night I called her and she said
"Daddy daddy daddy  all my life
I've been trying to find my place in the world"
And I said to her
"Baby baby babe
I got all night to listen to the heart of a girl"
I can see the time drippin' down the clock
We've been trying to hear that ancient refrain
It's the one that knows just when our heads are down
And reminds us of the place from where we came
Where we came
"Daddy daddy daddy  all my life
I've been trying to find my place in this world"
"Baby baby babe
I got all night to listen to the heart of a girl"
What happened here  what is this world
It's too far from the heart of a girl
A ripple in the water
From the drop of a pearl
I'm on the shore waitin'
For the heart of a girl
Many doors  knock on one
Standin' still  time is raging
Staring down the mouth of a hundred thousand guns
And you're still here  you're still here
I believe that we never have to be alone
Yes I believe it's just around the bend
You can hold it in
Or you can scream it on a microphone
There is no end (there is no end)
There is no end (there is no end)
Deep in the night  I feel the presence
Of something that was long ago told to me
There is a hand  guiding the river
The river to wide open sea
And deep in my heart  ( )
On any mountain  no I'm not afraid
Standing on stone  you stand beside me
And honour the plans that were made
