Come lay your head upon my breast, she said
Come turn your worries into mine
I want to hear it all
So let your fortress fall and you'll be fine

Then she said
When you're tired of all your sorrows
Just fire your guns and arrows
And nail me through my heart
Oh, this open heart

Told her all the things I'd kept inside
The things I wouldn't tell a soul
She smiled and took my hand
With a look of understanding she eased it all

Then she said
When you're tired of all your sorrows
Just fire your guns and arrows
And nail me through my heart (nail me through my heart)
Oh, this open heart
Take me through my heart (take me through my heart)
Oh, this open heart

She gave herself up to me
The first to touch her soul
She cried and kissed my hand
With a look of understanding she eased it all

Then she said
When you're tired of all your sorrows
Just fire your guns and arrows
And nail me through my heart
Oh, this open heart
Just love me for my heart
Oh, this open heart
