Laura Jorgensen - Heart of Clay

You went out to the desert and you dug a little hole
You found a spot where the sand was soft and moldable
You took it in your hands and you made a little shape
You put it in my chest with the intent of making it ache
But you did not consider what the consequence would be
For a heart of clay cannot have a key

And my heart is made of clay
My heart is made of clay

You took me to the city and you thought that I would stay
How didn't you know that my soul was gone, far away?
This concrete forest fence can't keep the desert from my mind
And one night while you're sleeping I'll blow out oh so quiet
For you did not consider what the consequence would be
A body of sand is always trying to leave

And my body is clay and sand
My body was made
My heart is clay and can only brittle and break

When I reach where I came from
I will wait till the rain comes
And melt into the land

Through the wind and thunder
You will never cease to wander
Searching for me
But the one you seek to find will remain in your mind
For clay will I be
