Rod Stewart Rhythm of My Heart lyrics

Across the street, the river runs
Down in the gutter, life is slippin' away
Let me still exist in another place
Runnin' under cover, of a helicopter blade

Flames are getting higher in effigy
Burnin' down the bridges of my memory
Love may still be alive somewhere, some way
Where they're downin' only deer
A hundred steel towns away

Oh, the rhythm of my heart is beatin' like a drum
With the words "I love you" rollin' off my tongue
No, never will I roam, for I know my place is home
Where the ocean meets the sky, I'll be sailin'

Photographs, kerosene, light up my darkness
Light it up, light it up, light it up
I can still feel the touch, of your thin blue jeans
Runnin' down the alley, I've got my eyes all over you, baby
Oh baby

Oh, the rhythm of my heart is beatin' like a drum
With the words "I love you" rollin' off my tongue
No, never will I roam, for I know my place is home

Where the ocean meets the sky, I'll be sailing, I'll be sailing

Oh, I've got lightning in my veins
Shifting like the handle of a slot machine
Love may still exist in another place
I'm just yanking back the handle, no expression on my face

Oh, the rhythm of my heart is beatin' like a drum
With the words "I love you" rollin' off my tongue
Oh, never will I roam, for I know my place is home
Where the ocean meets the sky, I'll be sailin'

Oh, the rhythm of my heart is beatin' like a drum
With the words "I love you" rollin' off my tongue
No, never will I roam, for I know my place is home
Where the ocean meets the sky, I'll be sailin'

The rhythm of my heart is beatin' like a drum
The words "I love you" rollin' off my tongue
Never will I roam, for I know my place is home
Where the ocean meets the sky, I'll be sailin'
