Lyrics Harpoon to the Heart - Paul Kelly
With
a
harpoon
to
the
heart
You
have
snagged
me
With
a
harpoon
to
the
heart
You're
on
my
tail
And
there's
nothing
I
can
do
To
ever
shake
loose
from
you
And
you
don't
even
know
you're
Ahab
in
this
tale
Everywhere
I
turn
You're
never
that
far
distant
Every
now
and
then
I
think
I'm
clean
away
But
then
you
reappear
and
no
matter
how
hard
I
steer
I
know
I'm
gonna
have
to
fight
another
long
night
and
day
On
this
wide,
open
sea
I
can
never
ever
be
free
There's
a
shadow
always
creeping
up
behind
Like
a
harpoon
to
the
heart
You're
stuck
inside
me
Though
I
know
this
battle's
furthest
from
your
mind
Like
a
hound
dog
on
the
scent
Your
ghost's
relentless
Like
a
hound
dog
with
the
scent
You're
on
my
trail
And
there's
nowhere
I
can
hide
'Coz
you
never
seem
to
break
your
stride
Oh,
you
got
me
running
up
hill
and
down
dale
All
across
this
country
I
can
never
ever
be
free
Every
day
I
hear
the
baying
from
behind
Like
a
hellhound
with
the
scent
Your
ghost's
relentless
Though
I
know
your
love
is
only
in
my
mind
On
this
wide,
open
sea
I
can
never
ever
be
free
There's
a
shadow
always
creeping
up
behind
Like
a
harpoon
to
the
heart
You're
stuck
inside
me
Though
I
know
your
love
is
only
in
my
mind
Oh,
my
love
for
you
has
caught
me
in
this
bind
