Closer came and went in the same breathe
No more time to keep or lose myself in my regret
Like an angel in the night
So softly beating her wings
She came and stole the past away
The understatement of the year
I am happy and so too now control my fear
And so to now control my fear
I must listen to the beat of my own heart
Every morning the fog clings close to the field
And every morning it burns away as the sun reveals herself
As if a second blanket of life
Seeding the first into the sky
She came and stole the present away
The understatement of the day
I am happy and so too now ready to pray
And so to now steady myself to pray
I must listen to the beat of my own heart
Unsubtly the fences stand proud and mean
And in the light of day such a sight is a sight unsettling to see
Like a thief of the sweetest kind
Taking away only her victim’s plight
She came and stole the unpleasant future away
The understatement of the moment
I am happy and so too now able to know it
And so to now be able to know it
I must listen to the beat of my own heart
