Song lyrics

[Verse 1:]
We see a mother with no child
We meet a stranger poor, exiled
How's the heart while it still beats?
Asks a no-one, another Jane Doe.
Sorrow hides well in your shell
A fellow man with hurt to spare
Dear one, here I am to share the fear
An act of kindness, without an amen

[Chorus:]
How's the heart
Underneath the silence?
How's the one
Drowning in the mire?
Let us sound a human paean
Come in, the fire's warm
Burn the rope and dance some more

[Verse 2:]
We met where the cliff greets the sea
Shared a story, took the leap
Rose up rooted, hid a note
You know where, you've been there.
Now there's one who came from me
A child of light, another tale
Dear one, night will come but not to stay
Why? The answer is in the

[Chorus:]
How's the heart
Underneath the silence?
How's the one
Drowning in the mire?
Let us sound a human paean
Come in, the fire's warm
Burn the rope and dance some more

[Post-Chorus:]
Fair winds, my love
Fly towards the calm
Fly utterly lost
Towards a beating heart, a beating heart

[Bridge: 2x]
How is that heart
Underneath the silence?
How is the one
Drowning in the mire?
Let us sound a human paean
Come on in, the fire's warm

[Break:]
How's that heart
Underneath the silence?
How's the one
Drowning in the mire?
Let us sound a human paean
Come on in

[Chorus:]
How's that heart
Underneath the silence?
How's the one
Drowning in the mire?
Let us sound a human paean
Come on in, the fire's warm
Down the blade and dance some more
How's that heart?
How's the one
Drowning in the mire?
Let us sound the human paean
Come on in, the fire's warm
Down the blade and dance some more

[Outro:]
How's the heart
Underneath the silence?
How's the one
Drowning in the mire?
Let us sound the human paean
Come in, the fire's warm
Burn the rope and dance some more
