I was building an island in the heart of a black sea

Where no one could bother and you couldn't find me

Then you drifted in softly just under my radar

Now I'm into your lifeboat

Like a castaway sailor

I

I

I

I'm coming over

I won't take no from you

This black heart

Is going under

And coming up new

I have taken the long way down a dark lonely alley

Then the rain made a river and it carried me downstream

To a dark place inside me where you didn't matter

Surrounded by black cats and fire escape ladders

I

I

I

I'm coming over

I won't take no from you

This black heart

Is going under

And coming up new

I'm so tired of walking blind in the middle of the night

Won't you come and bring the spark

To light this black black heart

I

I

I

I'm coming over

I won't take no from you

This black heart

Is going under

And coming up new

I

I

I

I'm coming over

I won't take no from you

This black heart

Is going under

And coming up new

This black heart
