House Of Silence

Heart Of Fire
Kenny Edwards & Wendy Waldman
Valgovind Music (BMI), Big Kitty Music (ASCAP)


A red bird on my windowsill
Been singing all night long
The strangest tune I hear it still
But now that bird is gone
I felt a chill down in my bones,
A broken line there in my hand

Give me a heart of fire
Will you be there with me when I stand
Maybe you'll spread some wings
Or lay down in the cooling sand

I wrote inside a silver ring
There's nothing I won't do
Cause love can give you everything
But only if it's true
He threw it far into the sea
And I sank just like a stone

Give me a heart of fire
Will you be there with me when I stand
Maybe you'll spread some wings
Or lay down in the cooling sand

Love is not the enemy
The hides down in your soul
Just the foolish hearts so pale and weak
That cannot bear the load

Give me a heart of fire
Will you be there with me when I stand
Maybe you'll spread some wings
Or lay down in the cooling sand


Lay me down in the cooling sand
Lay me down in the cooling sand
