  • Oh the river, oh the river, it's running free
    And oh the joy, oh the joy it brings to me
    But I know it'll have to drown me
    Before it can breathe easy

    And I've seen it in the flights of birds
    I've seen it in you, in the entrails of the animals
    The blood running through, but in order to get to the heart
    I think sometimes you have to cut through (but you can)

    You can, we can, we can

    Just keep following
    The heartlines on your hand
    Just keep following
    The heartlines on your hand
    Keep it up, I know you can
    Just keep following
    The heartlines on your hand, 'cause I am

    Odyssey on odyssey and land over land
    Creeping and crawling like the sea over sand
    Still I follow heartlines on your hand

    This fantasy, this fallacy, this tumbling stone
    Echoes of a city that's long overgrown
    Your heart is the only place that I call home
    Can I be returned? You can
    You can, we can

    Just keep following
    The heartlines on your hand
    Just keep following
    The heartlines on your hand
    Keep it up, I know you can
    Just keep following
    The heartlines on your hand

    What a thing to do
    Ooh, what a thing to choose
    But know, in some way, I'm there with you
    Up against the wall on a Wednesday afternoon

    Just keep following
    The heartlines on your hand
    Just keep following
    The heartlines on your hand
    Keep it up, I know you can
    Just keep following
    The heartlines on your hand
