"Knockin' Heart" lyrics

"Knockin' Heart"

Higher than the peaks in the skyline
Just blazing all the way home tonight over you
Oh there's no one
Who's gonna love you
Like I do tonight
From the courtship to the chapel
From the branches to the apple
To the elegy in the bone yard
You'll be knockin' in my heart
You'll be knockin' in my heart

Fading like a firefly in the autumn
Just dying all the way home tonight over you
Oh there's no one
Who's gonna need you
Like I do tonight
From the barnyard to the bullfight
From the bleachers to the spotlight
From the factory to the junkyard
You'll be knockin' in my heart
You'll be knockin' in my heart

Someone to call you when you turned off all your friends
Someone to bug you when your life makes too much sense
Oh there's no one who's gonna love you
Like I do in the end

From the lighthouse to the box ships
From the old folks to the grandkids
To the portrait in the bell jar
You'll be knockin' in my heart
You'll be knockin' in my heart
