As we lay there in the dark, you said you could hear my heart
Then you started to cry cause one day I'm gonna die
When the body slows
What the heart just knows
Is that the soul lets go
Where does it go?
I don't know, Oh...
Now I don't believe in Jesus as anything but a man
I worry that religion is doing less good than bad
And I know that that makes a lot of good people mad
What the heart just knows
You feel it in your bones
Is that the soul lets go
Where does it go?
I don't know, Oh...
And I'm scared that when they call me up
Will I have done enough?
I cannot see how
But as we lay there in the dark
Darlin' I could hear your heart pound
And I know that without that sound
Mine... would probably give out
When the body slows
What the heart just knows
Is that the soul lets go
Where does it go? Oh...
I could get down on my knees but I don't know, Oh...
And you don't know, and no one knows
I just don't know...
