Keeper of my Heart

------ -- -- -----

(Amy Ray)



For you, I would tattoo me

With lines crossing into a hand,

and a heart that would never bleed.

The twilight and the horse

Drawn on my arm

Standing for addiction,

Pray we go unharmed.



here is my love and anger

these are my gods, these are my scars

here is my love and anger

my arms are burning, but they're open wide.



Some things, I hold too tightly.

Some things, I'll never I'll never touch.

I'm wearing down the stones

In the river

All my life, I've painted

With anger's brush



here is my love and anger

these are your gods, these are my scars

lift me through my love and anger

these arms are burning, but they're open wide.



Oh, you precious kid

I have a motion just for you.

A warrior, barefoot and dancing

With tears of pain and beauty

All of this is true for you



lift me through my love and anger

these are my gods, these are your scars.

lift me through my love and anger

my arms are burning but they're open wide.



Pointing out the graveyards

I will be the reaper

If you will be

The keeper of my heart.
