"When Hearts Fall" lyrics

"When Hearts Fall"

I circle around to where truth came undone
Lengthy shadows that run from the sun
An endless line of horizons lay in front of me

I'll follow this road as long as it takes
Through the barren earth through the Missouri Breaks
There's a silver eye looking over me

When hearts fall
Stars fall
Find shelter from rain and the wind
But if our hearts fail
We all fail
We're back where we started again

I tried in vain to move heaven and earth
It's time like these we find out what we're worth
Love and redemption now just a fading mirage

The future shimmers on untested faith
What I have left just shatters and breaks
The song in my head still speaks but in muted verse

When hearts fall
Stars fall
Find shelter from rain and the wind
But if our hearts fail
We all fail
We're back where we started again

I used to live on an island
Of my own making
Complete with safe harbor
Surrounded by rocky coasts

I had taken refuge from the slights of the world
The loss of love, devoid of human touch
Now I'm coming back
Determined to try it again

When hearts fall
Stars fall
We hold out the promise of hope
And when our hearts mend
Then someday
We'll find out way back once again

Once again
