[Verse 1] You keep a silver key beneath your sleeve For rooms that only open when you leave Two pointed ears catch every passing sound A painted garden turns the whole world round [Pre-Chorus] Your eyes hold amber afterglow A secret place I’ll never know [Chorus] Little wild heart, stay near me tonight Soft as a whisper, bright as a knife If you cross the border where the blue flowers grow Take my hand gently, don’t vanish below Little wild heart, I’ll follow your light Through the quiet garden, out of sight [Verse 2] A ribbon trails across the wooden floor You pause beside the half-forgotten door The moon is caught inside your copper hair And every sleeping statue turns to stare [Pre-Chorus] You lift your chin, the branches bend A beautiful beginning with no end [Chorus] Little wild heart, stay near me tonight Soft as a whisper, bright as a knife If you cross the border where the blue flowers grow Take my hand gently, don’t vanish below Little wild heart, I’ll follow your light Through the quiet garden, out of sight [Bridge] No cage, no crown, no borrowed name Just rain on glass and a foxfire flame If morning finds us, let it find us changed With leaves in our pockets and the door unlatched again [Final Chorus] Little wild heart, stay near me tonight Soft as a whisper, bright as a knife If you cross the border where the blue flowers grow Take my hand gently, don’t vanish below Little wild heart, I’ll follow your light Through the quiet garden, out of sight [Outro] Silver key beneath your sleeve A secret world I choose to believe
