Heavy Handed Love
Heavy handed love hold mine heart entwined
With fading thought beaten skin it doth rejoice
Thy tender chain keep safe mine pitied mind
Begotten tears choke still mine weary voice
Heavy handed love hold mine heart entwined
With thine which sings to make true love attest
And yet so much thy fist doth long to find
Upon mine soul a place with comfort rest
Heavy handed love hold mine heart entwined
With mem'rys past which sing their silent song
Mine bleeding wounds thy love true still defines
And though we part thou doth till time be gone
Heavy handed love leave mine heart behind
