the tiny tin hearts - luke lyrics

1, 2, 3, 4!

luke backed up a bit and opened up a sp+ce in front of him
he said ‘y’know i think this behaviour has got to be some kind of sin.’
well i could tell this manoeuvre had really hurt his pride
he said ‘y’know my father was buddhist but i never figured out why.’

luke says, ‘with every sweep of my hands i catch a galaxy.’
i said, ‘luke i’m listening to you buddy, but that just doesn’t sound right to me.’
he said, ‘no, no, i’ll prove it to you let’s take a day
i swear by the stars in my hands there’s truth
in the words i say.’

luke says ‘my father was a great poet
something more than a man
but that something i could never be and i know it
but if i pretend a little maybe i could understand.’

i tell luke i think he’s better off alone
luke wants to call her so i unplug the phone
he wants to tell her that he loves her and to write a symphony
he’s rooting in the cabinets as he drinks his way to glory

luke says ‘my father was a great poet
something more than a man
but that something i could never be and i know it
but if i pretend a little maybe i could understand.’
even above the contented thunder
of a buddhist prayer drum roll
i can hear the distant wailing
of an unknown tortured soul, and i cried
‘where have you gone, where have you gone aleao [?]
where have you gone, where have you gone springtime joy, aleao [?]’

now i’m singing religion in the empty kitchen
runs like the water across a canyon floor, and luke cries
‘marianne, marianne, where have you gone?’
he’s never been hurt by a woman before

and i cried
‘where have you gone, where have you gone aleao [?]
where have you gone, where have you gone springtime joy
and i’ve searched every mountaintop for you aleao [?]
but i just can’t let you go sweetheart, aleao [?]’
