Big Head Todd and the Monsters

Heart Of Wilderness

If only there were time and tenderness

Oh, for young hearts of wilderness

We run to the city we build our nest

We work, we get drunk, we make love

But your love won't take me from the grave to the heavens

Your love won't take me from the grave to the heavens

Before I'm gone your arms will be holding some other man

In this heart of wilderness

Run with me, and take my hand, we'll run and dream in this heart

This time I won't turn out the light

Oh, this time I won't turn out the light

Make believe everything's alright

and kiss my lover a cold good night

Morning turns to noon and noon to night

Oh, morning turns to noon and noon to night

My heart is still filled with fright

I'm still the same broken piece of clay

In this heart of wilderness

Come with me, and take my hand, we'll run and dream in this heart

I've been dreaming of something underneath the hill

Just around the bin and underneath the hill

A fortune in wood and steel

In restaurants and people without names

Oh sweet Jesus, I'm a broken man

All I did was follow the plan

But what I wouldn't do to be loved

In this heart of wilderness

Come with me, and take my hand, we'll run and dream in this heart

Mine's a heart of wilderness

Don't go in there if you know what's best
