The Beast Called Love Lyrics by Holly Arrowsmith

For the Weary Traveller

2015

[Verse 1]
I was young, I heard about, a thing called love
So I sailed out, to see what the fuss was about!
Quickly did, the ocean turn, into a fearsome beast
Tossed me in his watery arms, onto a lonely shore
I'd fallen for his charm
[Chorus]
So I cut out what remained
Of my heart and threw it to the sea
And I told that beast called love
"Never return that heart to me"
[Verse 2]
The ocean took, my heart with glee
Tossed it from wave to wave, but I couldn't feel a thing
Just a hole where it had been
And now it didn't beat for anyone or anything
[Chorus]
You see I cut out what remained
Of my heart, long long ago
And I threw it to the sea
And I told that beast called love
"Never return that heart to me!"
[Verse 3]
So there I lay, a hollow chest
Filled with pain, and salty bitterness
Then you came, upon the waves, walking
With a heart that beat only in your hands
Warm and red
"That ain’t mine!" I said
[Chorus]
You see I cut out what remained
Of my heart, long long ago
And I threw it to the sea
And I told that beast called love
"Never return that heart to me!"
(And you said)
"Child you are right!
Oh, This ain’t yours It's mine
See, I fought that ugly sea
Now your heart beats in me
And love is not a beast"
(No you said)
"Love is not a beast
Love is not a beast, It is an exchange, Oh!
Love is an exchange"
(You said)
"Love is an exchange!"
