"Tired Hearts" lyrics

Forest leaves her heart at home
I hear she had a baby son
She says I can feel the world
In him my only one

But every dawn I leave
Late nights I finally go free
A stranger is my child
And my child to me

Work them up
And beat them down
All in the name of love
Can you hear that whistle sound
Maybe life has just begun

Con man sitting at the edge
Of the heavy waters
Barter me something I can
Live on a little longer

If I'm leaving, I's leaving
No tired hearts still beating
Western winds, oh won't you
Take me at last
Past those Hudson yards
That block the stars

What else do you sell me now?
All in the name of love
Burn your words into the ground
And leave me with the smoke
In my lungs

Made man floating on the back of a man-made river
Deliver me gold from the mud
That life from the blood of the giver

If I'm leaving, I'm leaving
No tired hearts still beating
Western winds, oh won't you
Take me at last
Past those Hudson yards
That block the stars

I can just make out the call
Bleeding like sound through the wall
Wait as the world sets in
And life goes on like it's always been

Life from the mother's death
Young sounds shaped
From the warm breath
Wait as the world sets in
And life goes on like it's always been
Life goes on like it's always
Life goes on like it's always been
Life goes on like it's always been
Life goes on like it's always
