Joan Shelley - Heaven Knows Lyrics

Joan Shelley Lyrics

"Heaven Knows"

I was born in a breaking
I was born in love lost
And a simmering anger
Wild heat

I was born loving you
I was born
Tied to a silent grief
A tangled thing

You came in
And with a glance
Made me spin
Your silver dance
Broke my fever
Fed my hunger

You were bright
In my torn sky
Filled my nights
With lovesick eyes
Like a rippling river
Of every color

Wounds defended
Wounds repaired
I turn my face to shield the glare
And in your absence
See what's there

We got more
Than we deserved
You got blinded
I got burned
Pulled apart
But then returned

The world expands
The world explodes
I ground my feet
And hold you close
It's not an end
It's how it grows

Heaven knows
Heaven knows
