Analysis of Lost love
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
Without you i am tired of the days
and living alone no longer pays
The horses run but noone plays
and the sun is tarred with a dullish haze.
Without you the north star shines brighter
but my moonlit fire no longer has a lighter
I sit in the shade and my skin grows whiter
Noone trains to be a mighty fighter
