This track was written in 2012, but recorded quickly in 2013 in response to a request by the Friends Church in Calgary. The church was raising funds for Flood Relief in Calgary and created a video to that end. "Every Heart" was used as the back drop to the video of the devastation caused by the flooding.
lyrics
Every Heart
------------------------------------------------------------ Verse 1
[C#m] I see you [F#m] in my mind[B]
a sillo [G#] utte by pale moon[C#m]light
When I [F#m] close my eyes [B]
Leave the [G#]waking world be[C#m]hind
------------------------------------------------------------ Verse 2
[C#m]A poem [F#m] so composed[B]
And in your [G#] teeth a blood red [C#m]rose
And with a [F#m] single line [B]
You commit the lovers [C#m]crime
------------------------------------------------------------ Pre-Chorus
[C#m]The Rain begins [B]fall
And the beauty of it [A] all
[G#] washes [C#m]away
[C#m]Leaving me to [B]doubt
Lonely crying [A] out
[G#]The words I could not [C#m]say
------------------------------------------------------------ Chorus
-C#m Every [B]sus2 heart has [G#]felt the [C#m] pain
[C#m] Of love that's [B]sus2 lost or a [G#] love in [C#m] vain
Oh and [C#m] every [B]sus2 heart has to [G#] wonder [C#m] why
I can [C#m] see you [F#m] now [G#] when I close my [C#m] eyes
-------------------------------------------------------------- Verse 3
[C#m]Faithless [F#m]love is [B]blind
to the [G#]victims left be[C#m]hind
And it [F#m]does no [B]good
To heal the [G#]wounds, even if I [C#m]could
------------------------------------------------------------ Pre-Chorus
[C#m]So here I am, a[B]gain
Facing certain [A]pain
[G#]Conviction fades [C#m]away
[C#m]Leaving me to [B]doubt
Lonely crying [A]out
[G#]The words I could not [C#m]say
(Chorus)
[A] My head is [E] empty, [B] screwed on with a [C#m]grin
[A] I’m speechless [E] twisting in the [B] wind
[A] Could I just sit [E] here? [B] I know you under[C#m]stand
[A] It’s hard to [E] love and lose [D] again, [B]again...
(Chorus)
