"Glowing Heart" lyrics

"Glowing Heart"

I lost you in the broken twilight
Underneath the California sky
You quivered in the dark and then took flight

If I'd have known which way you headed
I'd have strapped on wings and hit the night
But your incandescent beam was out of sight

Later on when I got home
I found an owl's feather in my hand
I tried to make some sense of it
The who
The why
The what
The when
The where are you now
Where have you landed?
Where is your mouth?
Are you hungry for some candy?
Where are you goin'?
What is it you're lookin' for?
Where is your glowin' heart now?

If I could take back everything I ever said to you
Would we be fine?
Would the ripples in the water taste like wine?

The night is young, the air is heavy
Drink up now, my love for you goes on
In the thickening of dusk, I sing this song

You're trembling before me now
Looking like you might just start to cry
No matter how hard I looked
I still could never find the reason why you're still here
Why you're not bleeding
Why can't you love me?
What is it your feeding on?
Tonight, are you crazy
Or are you just along for the ride?
Where's your glowing heart now?

(Where are you now)
(Hoooh ahh eh aaah)
