Next to Love.

Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)



I stand on your path my love and my laughter.
I walk beside you now and forever after.
Whether you are afraid, confused or abused.
My thoughts speak love through all ways you choose.
I belong to noone and noone belongs to me.
But I am freedom and freedom is free.
When you stop for air and your wings do ache, I'll hold you too close for melody is at stake.
So sing faithful Angel your task is complete, return to your rhelm my ebony fleet.
To sail on canoes on the black clear water that has been blessed with your sons and daughters.
Diamonds as sparkling as space and time
born of the angels to live with the devine.
Smoothly you'll float gliding again when you're heart is healed from the sorrows of men.
