David Heavenor: Music

Written around the same subject as Here Once Again staring at the embers of a coal fire one late evening in Panmure Place, Edinburgh.

CHILD OF MY HEART

So leave me here and fall away
Into the arms of sleep, song of the night
You must go away, relax in sheets
That keep you warm, keep you from my sight
Pull down the the blind, turn out the light


What will you dream, what will you find
Layered in the secrets of your soul?
A note, a face, a rushing wave,
Running young, then running old
My deep delight, my love untold


And they're lashing at me
The waves are crashing on me
They're lashing at me
The waves....


I'll hold you close, but hold you far
Just as you will, just as I can
Go to these strings, child of my heart
Child of the boy, child of the man,
Child in this world, child of our time

I'll walk these street to my city home,
Hold my desire and hold it strong
Stare down the stars, stare down the fire
Till time reveals what love combines
Till time reveals the parting line
