If you threw all your love at me.

Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)



If you threw all your love at me
I wouldn't see you coming
My mind would be as blank as air
My eyes bowed to your presence

If you threw all your love at me
I'd catch it like a prayer
My agile ears your pin cusion
Your words would be like spears

If you threw all your love at me
I'd shake like trembling stones
My extacy would make me laugh
My thoughts a silent phone

If you threw all your love at me
I'd exhaust my body weak
My hands would close around myself
My neck would start to reach

If you threw all your love at me
I'd bag your wears and tares
Collecting every single item
In multitudes of jars
