Heart of the storm
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
I feel your footsteps on my heart
Each one leaves a toll
Each year they get heavier
Now they only stroll
I feel them crush each drying leaf
Layed so softly there
And the gentle whirlwind that you cause
Often makes me swear
I feel you sometimes when you stop
and I can't go on beating
So I cry out all my trusting fears until
You are moved to fleeting
