The Sound of Your Heart - Nando Fortunato

Every story has to be about something I suppose this one says I lose my head As the feeling starts to grow you know? I can feel love thumping at the doors of my heart Feel love thump as it tears me apart Feel love pump as the worrying starts I can feel love thumping at the doors of my heart again At the doors of my heart again I can feel love thump Bom-bom, be bom-bom Everybody needs someone They can cling to now and then No more defense, no more pretense No reasons to explain it You can feel love thumping at the doors of your heart Feel love thump as it tears you apart Feel blood pump as the worrying starts And you can feel love thumping at the doors of your heart again At the doors of your heart again You can feel love thump Bom-bom, be bom-bom Bom-bom, be bom-bom This one your unity rocker, Lord Stick him in your living room and turn off the light eh Bet you wouldn't know if he was black or white Boy, say what's the use in fighting? Man say, I say you shouldn't really fight Tek him to a disco tek Tek him to a pub eh Tek him to a blues and then You play him rub a dub eh Say you shouldn't really fight, man say Say you shouldn't really fight Each and every day I walk through the streets And I see man and man war and kill each other Because you are black or you are white So what's the use in fighting? War alright Because it's strictly love and unity We a deal in today And that we will never throw away We will never throw away, war alright I say just because you're brown You no fe g'wan like a clown Just because you're white You no fe broke a likkle fight eh Say what's the use in fighting, boy I say, you shouldn't really fight Every time it happens, seem to act a little touched In this at least, you're just like me I think we think too much Why can't we just Feel love thumping at the doors of our heart Feel love thump as it tears us apart Feel blood pump as the worrying starts I can feel love thumping at the doors of my heart again At the doors of my heart again I can feel love thump Bom-bom, be bom-bom I can feel love thump Bom-bom, be bom-bom At the doors of my heart again At the doors of my heart again I say, I can feel love thump Bom-bom, be bom-bom Bom-bom, be bom-bom

A fading neon gleam casts shadows over stone The city's shining skin is shedding from the bone I've gone from pillar to pariah in the slide In seas of doubt I swim against the turning tide Broken bodies line the walls Midas empires crash and fall Wings that melt when we try to soar Close my eyes as I descend To the gold rush at it's end Take me back to before... This isn't human anymore Look into the natural heart Following the beat of the chemical This isn't human anymore Tearing the connections apart Crawling at the feet of our pedestals Are you still human at the core? Pushing the reflex Pressure the defects Breaking down is inevitable Spraining the rivets Straining the limits Breaking down is inevitable The ghosts of order dot the eye and the tilt the three I stalk the trinity into conspiracy They painted masterworks and set them all alight The scars of persecution always harden into spite Broken bodies line the walls Midas empires crash and fall Wings that melt when we try to soar Close my eyes as I descend To the gold rush at its end Take me back to before... This isn't human anymore Look into the natural heart Following the beat of the chemical This isn't human anymore Tearing the connections apart Crawling at the feet of our pedestals Are you still human at the core? Look into the natural heart don't let it turn to stone Are you still human at the core? Look into the natural heart don't let it turn to stone Pushing the reflex Pressure the defects Breaking down is inevitable Spraining the rivets Straining the limits Breaking down is inevitable

The clock by the bed is ticking too loud in the quiet night I lie in the darkness thinking I must go before it's light Before you open up your eyes and you beg me to stay I'll leave 'cause I can't stand to see you hurt this way Sleep my love as I kiss you goodbye Then I won't hear the sound of your cry Though I knew the time was coming and our love would end somehow I just couldn't bear to tell you exactly just when or how I know we can't go on, that it was wrong to start But if you wake up crying now, you know you'll break my heart Sleep my love as I kiss you goodbye Then I won't hear the sound of your cry Sleep my love as I kiss you goodbye Then I won't hear the sound of your cry Ohhhh, sleep my love as I kiss you, kiss you, kiss you goodbye Then I won't hear the sound of your cry Ohhhh, sleep my love as I kiss you goodbye Then I won't hear oh no, the sound of your cry Ohhhh, sleep my love as I kiss you goodbye Then I won't hear the sound of your cry Oh ooh ooh ooh, sleep my love as I kiss you goodbye Then I won't hear the sound of your cry Sleep my love as I kiss you goodbye Then I won't hear the sound of your cry

Well it's 4 a.m., ain't no sleep to be found Your face in my mind spinning around And awake I will dream, in my dream you'll be there And I can't get away from you anywhere And ever since I met you my life's been a song A sad song, a love song with hate in between You'd be breaking my heart, it was clear from the start But my pen and my paper will keep my mind clean And I can't breathe when you're around My heart doesn't beat, my mouth doesn't speak And I can't sleep cause of the sound The sound of your memory that's bringing me down The sound of your memory that's bringing me down And I can't see myself without seeing you I can't touch anything that don't feel like you do Any place that I go I'll be looking for you And it hurts me to know that you don't love me too And I can't breathe when you're around My heart doesn't beat, my mouth doesn't speak And I can't sleep cause of the sound The sound of your memory that's bringing me down The sound of your memory that's bringing me down And I can't breathe when you're around My heart doesn't beat, my mouth doesn't speak And I can't sleep cause of the sound The sound of your memory that's bringing me down Yes, the sound of your memory is bringing me down

Knock down the doors and break thru the walls Tear out the phone run from it all I'm here to tell ya babe It's been one of these days I get a feelin' when I'm feelin' like this My heart's a target you never miss You got a way of puttin' everything in its place Takin' your time It's all that you're sayin' just how you say it A serious game you start to playin' You never cease to amaze me. It's your voice I hear drivin' me wild Whispering in my ear It's your voice I hear dangerous child You're sayin' what I wanna hear If I had my choice I'd run for cover But I think It'll be OK 'Cause all I needed to hear Was the sound of your voice Curl your words up into the air run your poetry thru my hair Call me that name you call me when there's no one around Take your time take all your precious time It's all that ya sayin' just how you say it Serious game you start to playin' you never fail to amaze. Bye baby bye bye I can tell ya that I miss the sound of your voice already Bye baby bye bye It doesn't matter where I go It's your voice I hear If I had my choice I'd run for cover But I think I'll be OK I can't say I'm going crazy But you make a pretty good case And you never fail to amaze It's your voice I hear drivin' me wild Whispering in my ear It's your voice I hear dangerous child You're sayin' what I wanna hear It's your voice I hear drivin' me wild Whispering in my ear It's your voice I hear dangerous child You're sayin' what I wanna hear It's your voice It's your voice It's your voice
