Little Heart String

*  to the tune of Darryl Braithwaite's
   beautiful timeless tune, On The Horses *


       ... You've been pulled... 
       Further than you should
       Many painful times before

      ... You warned me then.... 
     You did not have the strength
      To keep one piece for me

      - But, Heart, I want you - 
       To return to one
       Wrap yourself back up
       Can you hear my song 
       
         
     (Chorus) 
                     That's the way for you and me,
                      oh, Little Heart String
                      We're forever gonna be hurting (yeah yeah) 

                   ... Forever and a day, Little Heart String 
                    You were cut, and I resist
                    To feel the beat, of true love bliss


         .... What we need.... 
        Is fresh relief 
        To take away the memories 
          - And I will find - 
        New peace of mind 
        When you allow me to 

        (bridge) 
                    Can you help me
                    Mould a simple piece? 
                    Fix the bits back up
                    To give us both some release 

              (Chorus) 
                              Sew your pieces in repair
                              ah, Little Heart String 
                              You've been torn away from me
                              Too long yeah - eeaaahh

                             Now it's time to let you know 
                             oh, Little Heart String 
                             I'm desperate, to get you back
                              ... where you need to be, 
                                                                   attached


        .... You have tried
        To pump pump the love
        Flow it right in to my head
        Then broken came
        Things were never the same... 

        I need your faith again 

        Heart String, hear me
        I'm making future plans
        But without your help 
        I don't know if I can

   (last Chorus) 
               Say you'll mend the shattered pieces, 
                Little Heart String 
               Say you'll put me in the picture, with the rest of them
               I'm willing to dive in, Little Heart String 
               I promise I'll let you find you legs
                  ... find your legs
      
                Gallop your own song, 
                Little Heart String 
                I promise I'll grant your freedom (yeah yeah) 
                Hooves hitting wet beaches, mane streaming 
                Wild is where you long to live
                (fade) 
                This chance you give
                Is our life fixed
