Oh the river, oh the river
It's running free
And I'll join the joy it brings to me
But I know it'll have to drown me
Before it can breathe easy
And I've seen it in the flights of birds
I've seen it in you
The entrails of the animals, the blood running through
But in order to get to the heart
I think sometimes you'll have to cut through
But you can't
We will carry
We will carry you there
Just keep following
The heartlines on your hand
Just keep following
The heartlines on your hand
Keep it up, I know you can
Just keep following
The heartlines on your hand
'Cause I am
On the sea, on the sea and land over land
Creeping and crawling
Like the sea over sand
Still I follow heartlines on your hand
This fantasy, this fallacy, this tumbling stone
Echoes of a city that's long overgrown
Your heart is the only place that I call home
Can I be returned?
You can, you can, you can
Just keep following
The heartlines on your hand
Just keep following
The heartlines on your hand
Keep it up, I know you can
Just keep following
The heartlines on your hand
What a thing to do
Oh, what a thing to choose
But know, in some way I'm there with you
Up against the wall
On a wednesday afternoon
Just keep following
The heartlines on your hand
Just keep following
The heartlines on your hand
Keep it up, I know you can
Just keep following
The heartlines on your hand
'Cause I am
