Hooligan Heart is a seafaring love song. Though I am no sailor, this song has been sung near two of the world’s largest oceans, first when I wrote it in a cottage on a hill overlooking the Pacific Ocean, and then again years later when I recorded it in a 200-year-old farmhouse in coastal Maine.

Hooligan Heart

music and lyrics by Hazel de Mesa

Ruby heart stone
Wherever you roam
Wear it and you’ll never
Be far from home

So long, I’ve waited
For my lover’s sweet rescue
Warm are the nights
When I’m dreaming of you
My hooligan heart
Beats only for you

Across the deep blue
We sail, me and you
Singing a song of love
Out of tune

So long, I’ve waited
For my lover’s sweet rescue
Warm are the nights
When I’m dreaming of you
My hooligan heart
Beats only for you

Valhallarama, so long…
