Thirsty Heart

Be still, my heart
Beat not so fast
T’is my intention
This love to last
It’s been too long
For as a curse
You now beat strong
For love, you thirst

Be still, my heart
Slow down the beat
For passion fills
With lovers heat
It makes you hasten
You beat so fast
Fill, now with love
Drink of, at last
