Lyrics

And though the rain pours down upon this town
Like heaven above was crying
And while I watch the news, the world comes unglued
The politicians are lying
And now the money's spent
And I haven't paid the rent
It's the winter of my discontent
Nothing's satisfying

Still I have your laughter, still I have your laughter
It's the one thing, the one thing that pulls me back from this disaster

My heartwood, you are my touchstone
You are the reason that I'll never be alone
You are my heartwood, you are the sweetest cup
You are the breath I breathe, the reason that I'll never, never give up

And though the fog surrounds this desperate town
And clouds my point of view
Still I break the bread, try to stay ahead
And find my way through
I need a lucky break, from this constant heartache
I've had all I can take
But there's so much more to do

Still I have your laughter, still I have your laughter
It's the one thing, the one thing that pulls me back from this disaster
Your laughter, still I have your laughter
It's the one thing, the one thing that makes my pulse a little faster

My heartwood, you are my touchstone
You are the reason that I'll never be alone
You are my heartwood, you are the sweetest cup
You are the breath I breathe, the reason that I'll never, never give up

One more mile upon this track, ten more miles and then I'm coming back
A hundred miles on down this track, I remember, I remember

You are my heartwood, you are my touchstone
You are the reason that I'll never be alone
You are my heartwood, you are the overflowing cup
You are the breath I breathe, the reason that I'll never, never give up

The breath I breathe, the reason that I'll never, never give up
The breath I breathe, the reason that I'll never, I'll never give up
I'll never, never give up
I'll never, never give up
