Indigo Girls – Keeper Of My Heart

Words and Music: Amy Ray

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 emotion 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
