I HAVE A HEART
Words and Music By Christina Martin (2002)

I have a heart please don’t break it
I have a soul please don’t shake it
Under my wing I’ve forsaken
Love lost and broke love beat and tainted

Too many nights lost in wonder
Listened to my heart beat like thunder
When did we turn from now to never
The mysteries here not there or after

All of the bad childhood places
Stormy like pictures in my basement
When you are near, frown bequeaths me
Forget all the bad stuff, slips from neath me

Wish I could sing what’s down deeper
What’s covered in thick years, I can’t remember
There was a cloud, dulled my heart out
You came along and lit that spark

Say goodbye this time then
When your wind starts to bend
Come my way, maybe this time hearts can mend

I lost the jewel to innocence valley
Somebody led me down that alley
Castaways linger here beside me
Climb all around to find the way out

Then you appeared offering flowers
Tears brought from kindness hold more power
Happiness no more just a memory
You wrapped words and kisses around my body

Too many nights laid by your side
Too many nights to go without now
Lucky to have our eyes and our ears
Lucky to feel what we can feel

You have a heart I won’t break it
You have a soul, I won’t shake it
Eyes wide shut and deeper this time
Passion is pain it’s not a crime
