I keep my secrets locked up tight
I keep my emotions out of sight
But you got me memorized
What's in my heart and what's behind my eyes
You hold me tight you hold me fast
Won't let go until the storm has passed
And when I finally break down I'm so in love I ain't afraid to ask
I am not afraid
Baby love me out, love me out of this world
No alibis no more regrets
You're my wayward angel
You're my saving grace
Sanctify my crazy head

You're there inside me in my dreams
Sexy poems cinematic scenes
Shattered lullabies unfold, sweet suggestions I have never known
Pull down the shade turn off the light
Oh my love we're all alone tonight
Shadow dancing in slow-mo
For your eyes I will let it show
You can feel me glow
Baby love me out, love me out of this world
No alibis no more regrets
You're my wayward angel
You're my saving grace
Sanctify my crazy head

Maybe it's heaven or your sweet suggestion holding me in your sway
Carried away in the arms of an angel
You are my saving grace
Baby love me out, love me out of this world
No alibis no more regrets
You're my wayward angel
You're my saving grace
Sanctify my crazy head

Baby love me out now, love me out of this world
No alibis no more regrets
You're my wayward angel
You're my saving grace
Sanctify my crazy head

Heart, lead by Ann and Nancy Wilson, is considered a — or the — Grand Dame of hard rock and heavy metal.

Not only do they have more hit singles and AOR tracks than most other bands (songs we’d go over in detail but they’re listed on this very page in order of popularity) but in some ways deeper respect than many, both for their own groundbreaking talent and appeal and some unusual recognition thereof, including having been picked to perform Stairway to Heaven for Led Zeppelin themselves at the Kennedy Center Honors in 2012, making Robert Plant and company actually cry. Not Rush, not Aerosmith, nor any of the other bands beloved rock/metal that — along with Ann and Nancy’s band — followed Zeppelin by one generation. Just Heart.

Starting in the mid seventies, Heart forged a unique and powerful sound outstanding in their field, and was unusual in topping the charts well into their own second decade in the late eighties, becoming a staple of MTV’s rotation, albeit sometimes crammed by the industry into music videos that the bandmates despised and comment on to this day.
