Oh the river, oh the river
It's running free
And oh, the joy, oh, the joy it brings to me
But I know it'll have to drown me
Before it can breathe easy
And I've seen it in the flights of birds
I've seen it in you
The entrails of the animals, the blood running through
But in order to get to the heart
I think sometimes you'll have to cut through

But you can, you can
We can, we can

Just keep following
The heartlines on your hand
Just keep following
The heartlines on your hand
Keep it up, I know you can
Just keep following
The heartlines on your hand
'Cause I am

Odyssey on odyssey and land over land
Creeping and crawling
Like the sea over sand
Still I follow heartlines on your hand
And this fantasy, this fallacy, this tumbling stone
Echoes of a city that's long overgrown
Your heart is the only place that I call home
Can I be returned?

You can, you can
We can

Just keep following
The heartlines on your hand
Just keep following
The heartlines on your hand
Keep it up, I know you can
Just keep following
The heartlines on your hand

What a thing to do
Oh, what a thing to choose
But know, in some way I'm there with you
Up against the wall
On a Wednesday afternoon

Just keep following
The heartlines on your hand
Just keep following
The heartlines on your hand
Keep it up, I know you can
Just keep following
The heartlines on your hand
'Cause I am
