How the Heart Approaches What It Yearns

[Verse 1]

In the blue light of the belvedere motel

Wondering as the television burns

How the heart approaches what it yearns

[Verse 2]

In a fever I distinctly hear your voice

Emerging from a dream, the dream returns

How the heart approaches what it yearns

[Bridge]

After the rain on the interstate

Headlights slide past the moon

A bone-weary traveler waits by the side of the road

Where's he going?

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge 2]

I dream we are lying on the top of a hill

And headlights slide past the moon

I roll in your arms and your voice is the heat of the night

I'm on fire

[Verse 3]

In a phone booth in some local bar and grill

Rehearsing what I'll say, my coin returns

How the heart approaches what it yearns

How the heart approaches what it yearns
