Keeper Of My Heart

Indigo Girls

for you 
i would tattoo me 
with lines crossing into a hand 
and a heart that would never bleed 
with the twilight 
and the horse drawn on my arm 
standing for an addiction 
pray we go unharmed 
here is my love and anger 
you see now 
these are my gods 
these are my scars 
here is my love and anger 
well these arms are burning 
but they're open wide 
some things 
i hold too tightly 
some things 
i'll never 
i'll never touch 
oh but i'm wearing down the stones 
in the river 
and you see all my life 
i've painted with anger's brush 
now, now could you 
lift me through my love and anger 
you see now 
these are your gods 
these are my scars 
lift me through my love and anger 
ah and my arms are burning 
but they're open wide 
oh 
you precious kid 
i have a motion 
and it's just for you 
i see a warrior 
barefoot and dancing 
oh with tears of pain and beauty 
and all of this is true 
for you 
lift me through my love and anger 
you see now these are my gods 
these are your scars 
lift me through my love and anger 
oh and my arms are burning 
and they're open wide 
pointing out the graveyards 
i will be the reaper 
if you will be 
the keeper of my heart 
i will be the reaper 
if you will be 
the keeper of my heart 
you are the keeper of this heart 
of my heart
