Hand Me Your Heart

Hand me your heart, and I will hold it here
Tenderly, so you will feel no pain
Lean in to me, and whisper in my ear

Though words be blown like leaves, and are unclear
Your pulse echoes the drumming of the rain
Hand me your heart, and I will hold it here

Look around you, what is there to fear?
If we are lost, we’ll pass this way again
Lean in to me, and offer me your ear

And wandering, remember I am near
My love’s a constant note, and it sustains
Hand me your heart, and I will hold it here

It flutters like a bird, I think I hear
It’s fragile song, which cannot be contained.
Lean in to me, and sing it in my ear

Your breath’s a breeze, my heart a weather vane
I know you now, and nothing is the same
Hand me your heart, and I will hold it here
Lean in to me, and whisper in my ear.
