Hand On Heart - Queensrÿche

All eyes were staring

You floated through the room

Armed with your razor smile

Cutting to the bone

My voice fell useless

You flashed a quick «Hello.»

Feeling the fool

Could you tell it showed?

But that was «Sometime Ago.»

A memory vague and fading slow

Of somewhere I’d been

Hand On Heart

A promise, a word and a voice

Hand On Heart

A rhythm of hope and choice, will keep us together

I don’t know if I

Can reach that high

It’s a long way to fall

(small solo)

Hauntingly holding

My fate with a gaze

Like a child, mesmerized

By the candle’s flame

Oh what lies behind those eyes

I could only guess

That certain way you stood

Apart from the rest

Now where is «Sometime Ago?»

When everything moved in slo-motion

Caught by my watering eye

Hand On Heart

A promise, a word and a voice

Hand On Heart

A rhythm of hope and a vision of choice

Hand On Heart

Promising, I’ll never go

Hand On Heart

For reasons you’ll never know

Together through thick and thin

Lose or win, I’ll be there for you

Strange how the mind changes

Time and time again

Things once important, now

Pale in comparison

Hand On Heart

A promise, a word and a voice

Hand On Heart

A rhythm of hope and a vision of choice

Hand On Heart

Promising, I’ll never go

Hand On Heart

For reasons you’ll never know

I promise girl, Hand On Heart

Hand On Heart (x5)
