Beggar’s Heart

BEGGAR'S HEART
(Written by Ben Antoniadis)

Just another starving artist
Somewhere between the gutter and the stars
From street lamp dark to dim lit bars
Song soothes the beggar's heart

Just another fool for love
Between the madness and whence it starts
Between beautiful pain and difficult pleasure
But even the wisest fool must play their part

In the echo chamber of the heart
We play the tune for love departed

Just another hapless dreamer
Where happiness a fleeting dream
And dreams can stack against a man
In a dreaming, sleepless last stand

Just another one-legged lark
Singing that lonesome song in the dark
Free as a bird, so they say
But not so free when there's habits to pay

In the underground cavern of the mind
We play the tune for love left behind

Just another wandering soul
Between the truth and endless lies we're told
Between the waking dream and aching toll
Rest in hope now, restless soul

In the sacred hall of the soul
Play the tune for love left out in the cold
With just a ciggie to roll against the mortal toll
Rest in hope now, restless soul
