lyrics

When my heart goes to sleep
its pillow is a stone
and its blanket is a book full of memories
Protected by the awareness
of its own limitations
it sleeps every now and then
too short to ever find rest

When my heart wakes up
its morning exercise
is prayer and doubt
Time is not money
but pure gold, infant lies
too true to ever be told

When my heart goes for a walk
it blindy chooses comfort
in company
If I win on the short side I lose on the long run
if I celebrate the moment then I don't create identity
too afraid to ever find peace

When my heart finds a home
it never settles down
it keeps wandering through the streets of fear and loss
But I know it keeps on beating
throughout every stage of my life
too alive to ever get cold.
