MY HEART IS A GRAVEYARD
Words and Music by Nicole Laurenne (BMI)
V1
Your heart is a fortress
Guarded jealously
it might be the coldest thing
I have ever seen
You lie on your stone floor
And I on my dirt
alive in our silence
but dead in our mirth
C
My heart is a graveyard
where love lies buried
Under wilted flowers
lie my headstone memories
Head hangs like a willow
it sways and it weeps
My desire’s a black widow
it kills anything it needs
V2
This love is vessel
it could carry us to sea
it could wreck on the rocks
if handled carelessly
I’d love you on land
I’d love you by sea
if history’s chains fell
our love would run free
B
you could revive my ghosts
I could open your doors
you’d turn my graves to gardens
I could carry you home
