Heart's Desire

from Holy Bones on Piano by mary bue

/

lyrics

sun shines in from the window
waiting for take off
announcing your schemes

what if there was no weight
gravity's lifted
we're drifting into space

and he says "you should be a doctor, i can see it in your eyes"
oh, to be my father's daughter
have i been living a lie?

all these years spent trying
all these years spent trying
all these years spent trying
winter's coming
better curl up in a blanket and cry

medicine for your sorrow
i've got medicine for your pain
an aching back
a nagging ache
a ragged, jagged vein

and he says "you should be a lawyer, i can hear it in your style"
oh, to be my heart's desire
have i been living a lie?
