about

Electro classical track with torch style crooning vocal

lyrics

The evening swoops upon it's prey
Snatches sunlight from the day
The crickets sing to fireflies
As they illuminate the sky
The stars come out to take their part
And hijack my heavy heart

I think of places from the past
Faces that just didn't last
Stories woven from my dreams
That fell apart at the seams

The magic and the wonderlust
That bitter tears corrode and rust
The chances that just slipped away
The lovers that just didn't stay

A thousand things I might regret
A million more that I'll forget
The strength I had from the start
All vanished with my hijacked heart
(The strength I had from the start
All vanished with my hijacked heart)

The moon is bright in the evening sky
It knows all the tears I've cried
It knows the secrets that I keep
That i love too fast and I love too deep
My hijacked heart it bears the scars
Underneath these pin prick stars
It searches for another soul
One to heal and make it whole
...make it whole
...make it whole...

The night time slowly fades away
Making way for the day
The birds they sing to great the sun
Another chapter has begun
A story in so many parts
About my poor old hijacked heart

(A story in so many parts
About more poor old hijacked heart)
