Heart on the Wall

There's a well-lit heart on the wall the color of knowledge
An old dark sign with a story to tell
This road's too deep for walking; the sky gets darker still
The sign on the street gets harder to read
Those shoes get harder to fill

A stout horse pulls the surf boat to the sea
My father passed all his worries on to me

Heart on the wall, please, please help me
Don't leave me hang like some - art down the hall
That no one will ever see

A stout horse pulls the surfboat to the sea
My father passed all his worries on to me

There's a well on the hill from which any fool can drink
But there are thoughts that haunt me
No matter what I think

When it became apparent
That he had a son called mirror
Once he revealed himself transparent
Now everything is clearer...

A stout horse pulls the surfboat to the sea
My father passed all his courage on to me

Heart on the wall, please, please help me
Don't leave me hang like some - art down the hall
That no one will ever see

A stout horse pulls the surfboat to the sea
My father passed all his courage on to me
