All My Heart Can Hold Lyrics

In narrow streets that climb away From harbour walls at close of day As dusk falls soft I hear My footsteps echo clear Across the bay Up into the starry blue Rain and tears streaming down my face Dark chill of this empty place The night bears witness to All my heart can hold I'm left watching all my thoughts collide Wish I could take back such foolish pride I felt you understood this love inside Now it's just an arrow fallen wide Of all my heart can hold I realise here beneath this sky I've never known how to say goodbye So you just slipped away From what I had to say That still connects me to All my heart can hold I felt you understood this love inside Now it's just an arrow fallen wide Of all my heart can hold Here in the midnight Fading shadows reappear Have I been dreaming for too long? So many ghosts and fears Are catching up with me Don't make me wait too long Don't make me wait too long All around me the world is still I lift my head on this lonely hill I'll put these stars to flight Roll back this velvet night And make a million suns Shine only on you I'm left watching all my thoughts collide Wish I could take back such foolish pride I felt you understood this love inside Now it's just an arrow fallen wide Of all my heart can hold All my heart can hold ...can hold... All my heart, all my heart can hold...
