Right Hand On My Heart
The Whigs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Raindrops from the heavens, I'll eventually swim
A river, an ocean, a wave in my heart
We got your money now we'll make a new start
All the fallen leaves will find their branches again
Raindrops in the heavens I'll eventually swim
River, an ocean, a wave in my heart
We got your money now we'll make a new start
In another week, promise?
In another year, I promise?
Put your right hand on my heart
Heart
All the fallen leaves will find their branches again
The raindrops in the heavens, I'll eventually swim
Don't bypass the train-tracks that lead to my heart
We got your money now we'll make a new start
All the fallen leaves will find their branches again
Raindrops in the heavens ,I'll eventually swim
River, an ocean, a wave in my heart
We got your money now we'll make a new start, alright
In another week, promise?
In another year, promise?
Put your right hand on my heart
Heart
Your right hand on my heart
Your right hand on my heart
Feel the promise of my beating heart
All the fallen leaves will find their branches again
Raindrops in the heavens, I'll eventually swim
River, an ocean, a wave in my heart
We got your money now we'll make a new start

I didn't expect much from these guys, but when I saw them open for KoL two nights ago, I was thoroughly impressed. Will definitely be checking out some CDs when I can.
