Lyrics : Track 20: The Workings of the Heart
Alphonse Frankenstein kindly requests the honor of your presence at the wedding of his son, Victor, to his ward, Elizabeth Lavenza
He's here with me
But sees me not
He loves but cannot give
He seeks the mysteries of life
Without first knowing what it means
To live
A brilliant mind, such gifted hands
A master of his art
And yet he can't understand
The workings of the heart
You need not face the world alone
Or keep your secrets locked inside
Love can weather any storm
If you trust in you and I
How can we live?
How can we love?
Our souls a world apart
Your noblest dreams are not above
The workings of the heart
I've lost my way
So long ago
Too many sins to now confess
Though now you can still touch me so
Through the pain and emptiness
You needn't fear tomorrow
I love the man you are
Your heart is one that follows
A bright but distant star
How can I care for any other life
With you my world begins anew
While I was chasing dreams across the night
I couldn't see, as now I see, my only dream is you
Always I'd known you'd say these words to me
I've known the goodness in you all our lives
Don't blame yourself for what you cannot be
Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today before god, to unite this man and this woman, in holy matrimony
We needn't fear tomorrow
With you my world begins anew
True love will never die
You are my only guiding star
With all these dreams to follow
Am I too late to live this dream?
Please promise me you'll try
To know
The workings of the heart
So soon the end to all this madness
Oh, I so want to believe you
Never again will you know sadness
To hold you fast and never leave you
Through darkest nights and lost days
Our hearts will love for always
That's something even death cannot undo
It was planned for us to spend the first night of our union in a villa on shores of Lake Geneva. From there I would be sure to see his approach, and I could go out to meet my fate and Elizabeth would be spared the sight of it
He's here with me
But sees me not
He loves but cannot give
He seeks the mysteries of life
Without first knowing what it means
To live
A brilliant mind, such gifted hands
A master of his art
And yet he can't understand
The workings of the heart
You need not face the world alone
Or keep your secrets locked inside
Love can weather any storm
If you trust in you and I
How can we live?
How can we love?
Our souls a world apart
Your noblest dreams are not above
The workings of the heart
I've lost my way
So long ago
Too many sins to now confess
Though now you can still touch me so
Through the pain and emptiness

Your heart is one that follows
