Deep in the Heart Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Angel, everything is gonna be alright
Angel, everything gonna work out tonight
Thirty years old, sweet as a rose
Every petal of her wafer thin
Love will make you blind
Creep up from behind
Get you jumping out of your skin
Angel, it's sink or swim
[Chorus]
Deep in the heart
Deep in the heart of this place
Deep in the heart
Deep in the heart of this place
[Verse 2]
Door is closed behind me now
The window is sealed to shut out the light
Oh, green as the leaves and the cure of the nettle sting
Do your work, it'll work out right
[Chorus]
Deep in the heart
Deep in the heart of this place
Deep in the heart
Deep in the heart of this place
Angel, everything is gonna be alright
Angel, everything gonna work out tonight
Thirty years old, sweet as a rose
Every petal of her wafer thin
Love will make you blind
Creep up from behind
Get you jumping out of your skin
Angel, it's sink or swim
[Chorus]
Deep in the heart
Deep in the heart of this place
Deep in the heart
Deep in the heart of this place
[Verse 2]
Door is closed behind me now
The window is sealed to shut out the light
Oh, green as the leaves and the cure of the nettle sting
Do your work, it'll work out right
[Chorus]
Deep in the heart
Deep in the heart of this place
Deep in the heart
Deep in the heart of this place
[Verse 3]
The scent of cedar, I can still see her
You can't return to the place you never left
Angel, we'll make it work out tonight
Angel, I wanna be home tonight
[Verse 4]
Door is closed behind me now
Window's sealed to shut out the light
Green as the leaves, the cure of the nettle sting
I do my work and you'll work out right
Oh ho, oh ho ho
Oh ho, oh ho
[Chorus]
Deep in the heart of this place
Deep in the heart
Deep in the heart of this place
Deep in the heart
Deep in the heart of this place
The scent of cedar, I can still see her
You can't return to the place you never left
Angel, we'll make it work out tonight
Angel, I wanna be home tonight
[Verse 4]
Door is closed behind me now
Window's sealed to shut out the light
Green as the leaves, the cure of the nettle sting
I do my work and you'll work out right
Oh ho, oh ho ho
Oh ho, oh ho
[Chorus]
Deep in the heart of this place
Deep in the heart
Deep in the heart of this place
Deep in the heart
Deep in the heart of this place
