Rain's just fallen
I pause to reflect
On all the love I've held
Not so simple to forget
But time slips through me
And moves me towards
Another never knowing
Creeping under floorboards
Before the Alphabet City
I thought I had it all worked out
But then the path was filled with shadows
And I began to doubt
So just be gentle with my heart
Even though you don't hold it yet
Be gentle with my heart
I sat on a beach by myself
Lacing up the two halves of my chest
Stitch by stitch til' I felt it beat
Buried in the sand I could finally rest
Before the Alphabet City
I thought I had it all worked out
But then the path was filled with shadows
And I began to doubt
So just be gentle with my heart
Even though you don't hold it yet
Be gentle with my heart
In the dark you hold me like you know me
You trace my body like you own me
In the dark you hold me like you know me
You trace my body like you own me
Before the Alphabet City
I thought I had it all worked out
But then the path was filled with shadows
And I began to doubt
So just be gentle with my heart
Even though you don't hold it yet
Be gentle with my heart
Alphabet City
I thought I had it all worked out
But then the path was filled with shadows
And I began to doubt
So just be gentle with my heart
Even though you don't hold it yet
Be gentle with my heart
You don't hold it so just be gentle love
You don't hold it so just be gentle love
You don't hold it so just be gentle love
You don't hold it so just be gentle love
