State of the Heart

[Verse 1]
There are voices by my pillow
They remind me when to rise
And they tell me if my morning's
Under grey or sunny skies
And then they dedicate a record
"Our Love Will Never Die"
By a group that's been disbanded
Though it's seldom mentioned why
But they say that there's a chip in every part
Of the state of the heart

[Bridge]
Answering an ancient invitation
When's the proper time for us to go?
Turning from our separate destinations
Now we say goodbye, and now we say hello

[Verse 2]
But there are signs out on the highway
Writing on the walls
Hungry eyes and always
With a drifting dreamer falls
And we can watch it on our TV's
There's a dish out on the lawn
And we wonder where the valley
Of reality has gone
When they say they've got a tape on every part
Of the state of the heart

[Verse 3]
And I dream about this city
Oh the streets are paved with gold
And the spirit lives forever
And a body can't grow old
And though they say the gate is narrow
The path is straight and true
And I know it's made for lovers
'Cause I've seen what love can do
And I know that when we die we never part
From the state of the heart
