Analysis of Heather Lydia Thornhill's Steady my heart
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
Life is like walking on hearts
The hills are our breaths in and out
The lakes are the blood cells which
Flow through the hills
Sometimes I wonder how to steady myself
And when I fall my hands touch your heart
