When I'm coming down hard like hail stones
braced against the wind
feelin like these ragged ol seagull bones
are breakin through my skin
I got to see you
see you with my naked eyes
This thirst is missin water
and this hunger's missin food
and all this tired's missin sleep
from months of missin you
I got to feel you
feel you with my bare hands
I gotta hear your heart bang up against your rib cage
bursting like a dam
Well I let fate take the whell
now I'm carsick and afraid
jumbled up and jangled as this jar of foreign change
I've got to hear the things
you whisper without words
I've seen the loud lights of Manhattan
from a quiet shore in Queens
reflecting soft and wavy off the Hudson in between
I longed to hold you
hold you in these empty arms
Could you hear my heart bang up against my rib cage
rattle like a subway car?
Now it's a foggy Irish morning
but that sun keeps sliding through
beamin little stars on the blades of grass
and the branches ripe with dew
like tears of joy
hangin off your welcome home
You said, "Play something old and pretty,
'bout a lighthouse or a train,"
then snapped another stick in two
and threw it in the flame
we started singing
Me and Bobby McGee
You were doin Janis, I was doin Kris
and we were livin in the 70s
I gotta hear your heart bang up against your rib cage
Can I hear your heart bang up against your rib cage?
Burstin like a dam
