Album: Indigo Girls Live: Back On The Bus, Y'all

Keeper Of My Heart


For you I would tattoo me with lines crossing into a hand and a heart that would never bleed
With the twilight and the horse drawn on my arm
Standing for an addiction pray we go unharmed

Here is my love and anger you see now
These are my gods, these are my scars
Here is my love and anger
Well these arms are burning but they're open wide

Some things I hold too tightly
Some things I'll never, I'll never touch
But I'm wearing down the stones in the river
And you see all my life I've painted with anger's brush

Now, now could you lift me through my love and anger you see now
These are your gods, these are my scars
Lift me through my love and anger
My arms are burning but they're open wide

Oh you precious kid
I have a motion and it's just for you
I see a warrior barefoot and dancing
Oh with tears of pain and beauty and all of this is true for you

Lift me through my love and anger you see now
These are my gods, these are your scars
Lift me through my love and anger
My arms are burning, and they're open wide

Pointing out the graveyards
I will be the reaper
If you will be the keeper of my heart
I will be the reaper
If you will be the keeper of my heart
You are the keeper of this heart
Of my heart
