Beating Heart – Written Monday 26th July 1999 (Aged 24)

Beating Heart

did you know that i saw you
i saw you running in the dark
across my city streets
and through my beautiful park
is it yours for keeps?
you know, this beating heart
the one that you stole
the one you keep to pass the time
without you, there is a hole
and yes, the heart is mine
did you know that i saw you
i saw you running in the dark
across the rich fields
i wonder what will become of it
what harvest will my heart yield
it sure can dark,
the night is as black as coal
i saw you with a beating heart
and yes it was mine you stole
