Siouxsie And The Banshees 
Lyrics for Song: The Last Beat Of My Heart 
Lyrics for Album: Twice Upon A Time: The Singles [1992]
  
               
  7544>In the sharp gust of love
  My memory stirred
  When time wreathed a rose
  A garland of shame
  It's thorn my only delight
  War-torn, afraid to speak
  We dare to breathe
 
 
  Majestic
  Imperial
  A bridge of sighs
  Solitude sails
  In a wave of forgiveness
  On angels' wings
 
 
  Reach out your hands
  Don't turn your back
  Don't walk away
 
 
  How in the world
  Can I wish for this?
  Never to be torn apart
  Close to you
  'Til the last beat
  Of my heart
 
 
  At the close of day
  The sunset cloaks
  These words in shadowplay
  Here and now, long and loud
  My heart cries out
  And the naked bone of an echo says
  Don't walk away
 
 
  Reach out your hands
  I'm just a step away
 
 
  How in the world
  Can I wish for this?
  Never to be torn apart
  Close to you
  'Til the last beat
  Of my heart
 
 
  How in the world
  Can I wish for this?
  Never to be torn apart
  'Til the last beat
  'Til the last fleeting beat
  Of my heart
