Heart Swell
Oh to think of you
And your unswept floor
And how my shadow’s hue
Once loved to darken your door
Oh it don’t feel like a heart swell
No it’s more like when you’re driving
And you fade across the double line
(Oh, it don’t feel like a heart swell)
Oh the feeling rushing over
When you make it back across in time
(No, it don’t feel like a heart swell)
Oh hand on your shoulder
When you know there is no peace to find
(Oh, it don’t feel like a heart swell)
No, it don’t feel like a heart swell
It don’t feel like a heart swell
And the cicada choir is my backing band
I join in off key
Country mumble
Sang slow and hard to understand
Oh it don’t feel like a heart swell
No it’s more like when they tell you
They’re still looking for a heart of gold
(Oh, it don’t feel like a heart swell)
Like an immigrant heart that keeps trying to get back home
(No, it don’t feel like a heart swell)
Like a crop fire raging and it’s taking everything you’ve sown (Oh, it don’t feel like a heart swell)
No, it don’t feel like a heart swell
It don’t feel like a heart swell
Oh it don’t feel like a heart swell
No it’s more like when you’re driving
And you fade across the double line
(Oh, it don’t feel like a heart swell)
Like the feeling rushing over
When you make it back across in time
(No, it don’t feel like a heart swell)
Oh it don’t feel like a heart swell
It don’t feel like a heart swell
