If I Keep My Heart Out of Sight - James Taylor, Yo-Yo Ma, Arnold McCuller, David Lasley, Kate Markowitz & Andrea Zonn

Up in the sky, the brightest star No one can shine as bright as you do, baby Think your mind's lost in commotion All your fears are interwoven Parts of you that have been broken Bottle up all your emotions Foreign feelings, wounds are healing With new eyes to see a light that guided me Rip out my heart to give you life Tear me apart, teary eyes You're the blood that flows through my veins Be the shield that takes all your pain Rip out my heart to give you life Up in the sky, the brightest star I've been searching for a lifetime To find a soul that intertwines Every part of you is all mine The love you give has redefined Foreign feelings, wounds are healing With new eyes to see a light that guided me Rip out my heart to give you life Tear me apart, teary eyes You're the blood that flows through my veins Be the shield that takes all your pain Rip out my heart to give you life Up in the sky, the brightest star No one can shine as bright as you do baby

I've got my love to keep me warm, Off with my overcoat, Off with my glove, I need no overcoat, I'm burning with love. My heart's on fire, The flame goes higher, But I can weather the storm, What do I care how much it may storm, I've got my love to keep me warm.

Reaching out from my sorrows Far away from tomorrow How many seasons have we been together? How many reasons have we left behind? Now I don't know what to do alone with all this time It's up to you to realize I'm waiting for you right behind I need you now, just tell me how I can't get you out of my mind Can't get you out of my mind Just can't get you out of my mind Can't get you out of my mind Ooh, ooh, ooh I can't get you out of my mind It's getting too stronger, my feelings for you I can't get you out of my mind I'll try to be patient, don't want you to rush Just can't get you out of my mind You say we're not together But why do you hesitate? Oh, why? How many seasons did we stay together? (How?) So many reasons that we could've started Still, I don't know what to do alone with all this time (All this time, all this time) It's up to you to realize I'm waiting for you right behind I need you now, just tell me how I can't get you out of my mind Can't get you out of my mind Just can't get you out of my mind Can't get you out of my mind Ooh, ooh, ooh I can't get you out of my mind It's getting too stronger, my feelings for you I can't get you out of my mind I'll try to be patient, don't want you to rush Just can't get you out of my mind

I cried, I tried I've been about as 'mama's broken heart' as I can be These small talk, slow down, one road in and out Walls are closing in on me This town ain't big enough for breakin' up I'm 'bout to leave it in a cloud of dust You're everywhere and I can't take it Chevy wild horses off to the races Until I hit the city limits, 'til I hit the state line 'Til I reach a coast or a ghost town a thousand miles out Keep this needle hittin' ninety 'Til your memory can't find me anyhow Keep the pedal down 'Til I see some taillights that don't make me think of you 'Til I'm pulled over on the shoulder by some flashin' blue lights 'Til this heart forgets to break I don't care if it takes me all night I'm gonna drive you outta my mind I did hot mess, new dress Leanin' on the whiskey but it just won't do it And somethin' 'bout this driver's side dried my eyes Got me thinkin' maybe I should just keep movin' Until I hit the city limits, 'til I hit the state line 'Til I reach a coast or a ghost town a thousand miles out Keep this needle hittin' ninety 'Til your memory can't find me anyhow Keep the pedal down 'Til I see some taillights that don't make me think of you 'Til I'm pulled over on the shoulder by some flashin' blue lights 'Til this heart forgets to break I don't care if it takes me all night I'm gonna drive you outta my mind I'm gonna drive you outta my mind This town ain't big enough for breakin' up I'm 'bout to leave it in a cloud of dust You're everywhere and I can't take it Chevy wild horses off to the races Until I hit the city limits, 'til I hit the state line 'Til I reach a coast or a ghost town a thousand miles out Keep this needle hittin' ninety 'Til your memory can't find me anyhow Keep the pedal down 'Til I see some taillights that don't make me think of you 'Til I'm pulled over on the shoulder by some flashin' blue lights 'Til this heart forgets to break I don't care if it takes me all night I'm gonna drive you outta my mind I'm gonna drive you outta my mind Drive you I'm gonna drive you outta my mind

You could say I lost my faith in science and progress You could say I lost my belief in religion And you could say I lost my sense of direction You could say all of this and worse but If I ever lose my faith in you (in you) There'd be nothing left for me to do (to do) Some would say I was a lost man in a lost world You could say I lost my faith in the people on TV You could say I'd lost my belief in our politicians They all seem like game show hosts to me but If I ever lose my faith in you (if I ever lose my faith) There'd be nothing left for me to do (if I ever lose my faith) Lose my faith in you (in you) I could be lost inside their lies without a trace (without a trace) But every time I close my eyes, I see your face I never saw no miracle of science That didn't go from a blessing to a curse (a curse) I never saw no military solution that didn't end up worse If I ever lose my faith in you If I ever lose my faith in you (If I ever lose my faith in you) There'd be nothing left for me to do (There'd be nothing left for me to do) If I ever lose my faith (lose my faith) If I ever lose my faith (lose my faith) If I ever lose my faith (lose my faith) If I ever lose my faith (lose my faith) In you In you

One, two, three Why are you hanging on so tight To the rope that I'm hanging from? Off this island, this was an escape plan (this was an escape plan) Carefully timed it, so let me go And dive into the waves below Who tends the orchards? Who fixes up the gables? Emotional torture from the head of your high table Who fetches the water from the rocky mountain spring? And walk back down again to feel your words and their sharp sting And I'm getting fucking tired The capillaries in my eyes are bursting If our love died, would that be the worst thing? For somebody I thought was my saviour You sure make me do a whole lot of labour The calloused skin on my hands is cracking If our love ended, would that be a bad thing? And the silence haunts our bed chamber You make me do too much labour You make me do too much labour Apologies from my tongue, and never yours Busy lapping from flowing cup and stabbing with your fork I know you're a smart man (I know you're a smart man), and weaponise The false incompetence, it's dominance under a guise If we had a daughter, I'd watch and could not save her The emotional torture, from the head of your high table She'd do what you taught her, she'd meet the same cruel fate So now I've gotta run, so I can undo this mistake At least I've gotta try The capillaries in my eyes are bursting If our love died, would that be the worst thing? For somebody I thought was my saviour You sure make me do a whole lot of labour The calloused skin on my hands is cracking If our love ends, would that be a bad thing? And the silence haunts our bed chamber You make me do too much labour All day, every day, therapist, mother, maid Nymph then a virgin, nurse then a servant Just an appendage, live to attend him So that he never lifts a finger 24-7, baby machine So he can live out his picket fence dreams It's not an act of love if you make her You make me do too much labour All day, every day, therapist, mother, maid Nymph then virgin, nurse and a servant Just an appendage, live to attend him So that he never lifts a finger 24-7, baby machine So he can live out his picket fence dreams It's not an act of love if you make her You make me do too much labour All day, every day, therapist, mother, maid (The capillaries in my eyes are bursting) Nymph then virgin, nurse and a servant (If our love died, would that be the worst thing?) Just an appendage, live to attend him (For somebody I thought was my saviour) So that he never lifts a finger (You sure make me do a whole lot of labour) 24-7, baby machine (The calloused skin on my hands is crackin') So he can live out his picket fence dreams (If our love ends, would that be a bad thing?) It's not an act of love if you make her (And the silence haunts our bed chamber) You make me do too much labour
