Sacred Heart - Mark Eitzel

Now I’m out walking

On Saturday morning

Without a direction

I’m a dime a dozen

A worthless tourist

A walking target

With his eyes stuck

On glue and paper

No roof to crawl under

But with a heart full of rain

A heart full of rain

Full as the clouds

My throwaway map

Should throw me away

And where does it take me

Streets long since flooded

Raindrops and heartbeats

Though Noah doesn’t want me

You won’t let me drown

I don’t need to see you

I just need to feel you

When we make love

Feel you in the dark

Feel you in the future

When we make love

Up in heaven

Do we make 'em burn up?

Or do they ignore us?

Bigger fish to fry

Waiting with the others

At the Sacré-Cœur

Many different colors

From all over the world

Here in the City of Love

No one wants me here

But I remember

The sweet things we did together

When we made love

Saturday morning

Waiting with the others

Listening to Messiaen

Waiting in the dark

At the Sacré-Cœur

The future doesn’t matter

Nothing lasts but the dark

Where we feel love

Track me down and I’ll give you

My pomegranate heart

My throwaway heart

Track me down and stop me

I’m ripe enough for the terror

That lies at the center of my heart’s desire

I’m always alone I’m always alone

I’m always alone I’m always alone

And I don’t want to be

Always alone
