The road is long
And where you think it ends
Take a good look around
It just begins again
If you get weary
If you get tired
If you want a heart that beats with your heart
Darling, why not mine

A loving hand for your hand
A loving soul for you soul
Loving arms to keep you warm
When the night is cold

Did you hear the news
Did it make you cry
Consider the human condition
Did it make you cry
But if you get lifted
If you get inspired
If you want a heart that beats with your heart
Darling, what about mine

A loving hand for your hand
A loving soul for your soul
A loving friend to listen to you
On the telephone

That I'd ever betray you
That I'd turn on a friend
Better think again, Baby
Better think again
Because if you're in trouble
Then that's my trouble too
Somebody's gonna be right by your side
Guess who

It's a world of worry
It's a world of woe
How we get through the day
I don't even know
If you get scared in the dead of night
If you want a heart that beats with you heart
Darling, why not mine

A loving hand for your hand
A loving soul for your soul
Loving arms to reach out to you
When you feel alone
Because you're not alone

The road is long 
And where you think it ends
Take a good look around'
It just begins again
If you get weary
If you get tired
If you want a heart to beat with your heart
Darling why not mine
If you want a heart to beat with your heart
Darling why not mine...

A Heart That Beats With Your Heart

🦋 BLACK DRAGONFLY 🦋
*To my brother, who’s no longer here but forever in my heart

Thank you for teaching me the magic of rock and how to play the guitar. Your lessons and love for music have shaped who I am today.
The verses speak of struggle, reflection, and hope, resonating with how I feel about you. Dedicating this song to you is a touching way to honor your memory and share my feelings.


Dusty trail beneath my boots, 
The sunset burns on me. 
The whiskey bottle's running low, 
Ghosts of where I used to be.

On this lonely road I roam, 
Questions haunt me night and day. 
Lost in shadows, no surprise, 
Where the hell did I lose my way.
 
Every step takes me far away, 
From the boy I used to be. 
But the wind whispers my name, 
Reminding who I still can be.
 
Eyes in the mirror stare at me, 
Wondering when the night turns black. 
Blood and tears on the road I've paid, 
For the choices that I made.

Old guitar upon my back, 
Heavy heart, no sign of slack. 
Echoes of a rebel's cry, 
Thunder rumbles in the sky.

Every step takes me far away, 
From the boy I used to be. 
But the wind whispers my name, 
Reminding who I still can be.
 
Broken dreams and shattered glass, 
Memories of a troubled past. 
Searching for a place to hide, 
But these demons still chase me.
 
The devil's whisper in the wind, 
Tells me where I should begin. 
With hope in heart, 
I keep on walking, 
Knowing I can still change.

But the dawn's light guides me, 
Towards a new day arriving.
 
The devil's whisper in the wind, 
Tells me where I should begin. 
With hope in heart, 
I keep on walking, 
Knowing I can still change.

But the dawn's light guides me, 
Towards a new day arriving.
