The Heart Of It
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Now we're getting down to
The bone and the heart
And you wanna be a part
You know that now
I'm tired of broken promises
And two faced double dealing
I'm trusting just my feelings
I know that now
You have to anyhow
So at last we're getting down to
The bones and the heart
Do you wanna be a part of it
Could you do that for me now?
You might not see damage
Though a heart could still be bruised
But when music is the heart of it
Even hearts of stone are moved
Hearts of stone are moved
Yes we're getting down to
The bones and the heart
If you wanna play your part
You could do it for me now
Could you do it for me now?
Yes at last we're getting down to
The bones and the art of it
Music's at the heart of it
The heart of it . . . anyhow.
