LYRICS

It's the hour of the night time When the demons come to call And the shadows seem to whisper And I'm wishin' I could crawl inside a dream That would free me from the pain But I'm smothered by the silence of a heart gone insane Oh, heart, are you still beating? Is there enough of you left to break? How could he take you and tear you apart? I never knew somebody would do it I never knew somebody could do it Never dreamed anybody would do this to my heart Now the wine has worked its wonder and it's makin' me forget But the memories lie awaiting like an uncollected debt That must be paid at the fadin' of the stars By a heart that is already wearing one too many scars Oh, heart, are you still beating? Is there enough of you left to break? How could he take you and tear you apart? I never knew somebody would do it Never knew somebody could do it Never dreamed anybody could do this to my heart Heart, are you still beating? Is there enough of you left to break? How could he take you and tear you apart? I never knew somebody would do it I never knew somebody could do it Never dreamed anybody would do this to my -- Heart, are you still beating? Is there enough of you left to break? Heart, are you still beating? Is there enough of you left to break? Oh, heart, are you still beating ... [fade out]
