Heart of a Girl - The Killers

*** when I listen to this song, I think of the love between a father and daughter

Looking out my window

An angel in robes appeared and nearly pulled me apart

A million miles of freedom, a million miles of road,

But I still don't know where to start

She wrote her number down

And she gave it to me

They had to scrape me off the floor

In this transient town, waiters and dealers

Trying to get their foot in the door

That night I called her and she said

"Daddy daddy daddy, all my life

I've been trying to find my place in the world"

And I said to her

"Baby baby babe, I got all night to listen to the heart of a girl"

I can see the time drippin' down the clock,

We've been trying to hear that ancient refrain

It's the one that knows just when our heads are down

And reminds us of the place from where we came

Where we came

"Daddy daddy daddy, all my life

I've been trying to find my place in this world"

"Baby baby babe, I got all night to listen to the heart of a girl"

What happened here, what is this world?

It's too far from the heart of a girl

A ripple in the water

From the drop of a pearl

I'm on the shore waitin'

For the heart of a girl

Many doors, knock on one

Standin' still, time is raging

Staring down the mouth of a hundred thousand guns

And you're still here, you're still here

I believe that we never have to be alone

Yes I believe it's just around the bend

You can hold it in

Or you can scream it on a microphone

There is no end (there is no end)

There is no end (there is no end)

And, deep in the night, I feel the presence

Of something that was long ago told to me

There is a hand, guiding the river

The river to wide open sea

And deep in my heart, in and again

On any mountain, no I'm not afraid

Standing on stone, you stand beside me

And honor the plans that were made
