Analysis of As far as life
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
When you look at me
The diamonds sparkle more
The dolphins dance to shore
The angels spread their wings
The knights crown their kings
The stars seem to get closer
The dreamers dream longer
The wild hare leaves its burrow
The world's are freed from sorrow
The meanings are abound
The lovers sweetly found
The doubts are turned to trust
The presciousness is in us
The sand shapes the shore
The light warms evermore
