Song Lyrics

What's that lying in the leaves so still?
An empty shell of self
I'm all alone and dying
It's just a fatal beating of my heart
Another fatal beating of my heart
When you look into my eyes you see
A shattered me, you see
And if you listen very close you'll hear
A muffled scream
A dream you never want to visit
It's just a fatal beating of my heart
Another fatal beating of my heart
Oh love, oh love. Why did you go?
Oh love, oh love. Why did you die?
Oh love, oh love why did you go?
Oh love, you've beaten me. Oh love
What's that floating in the stream?
It seems a broken dream
It bleeds for promises forgotten
It's just a fatal beating of my heart
Another fatal beating of my heart
What's that lying in the road ahead?
Could it be our love?
I guess you tried to hit the brakes too late
It's dead weight, my fate
You drag beneath your tires
It's just a fatal beating of my heart
Another fatal beating of my heart
Oh love, oh love. Why did you go?
Oh love, oh love. Why did you die?
Oh love, oh love why did you go?
Oh love, you've beaten me. Oh love
No chances I'll survive it
It's just a fatal beating of my heart

Julee Cruise, Lee Mullens, Mike Truman
