The Revenants - My Old Blue Heart

Sometimes the weight of the world
Presses down so hard
It threatens to break me in two
And leave me scarred
I'm not as resilient
As I used to be
I feel like my limbs
Are like a broken old tree

My old blue heart
It bleeds red
My blood is like a river
Over a riverbed
My old blue heart
It beats so true
It beats for you
It beats for you
True blue

I still think about you
Mostly late at night
While the rest of the world is sleeping
I leave on a light
I pray for your safe return
Though I know you won't be back
How many years has it been
I can't keep track

You needed to find
Your own special way
Wherever that took you
You could not say
I tried to understand
And I let you go
Where are you now
I just don't know
I just don't know

I heard from some friends
That you moved out west
You cut off your hair
And you're still on your quest
Some say you are happy
Some say you've found peace
That may be good for you
But for me the longing it just won't cease
