Canyons of the Heart
Some love stories make you ponder
how you got this far.
Others make you want to wander
guided by a star.
Roll on thunder, roll on night
never let me sleep.
That's an over-rated right
and I've no soul to keep.
Loved too easily it seems-
my heart kept beating faster.
Through the canyons of my dreams
was led into disaster.
Dismal breakage everywhere
as I became undone.
Just about too much to bear;
I was too tired to run.
Now the pages have been turned
and hopefulness prevails.
Never again will I be burned
and love will guide my sails
