Lay me upon a golden heart

Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)

Lyric
Lay me on the chest of happiness
On a pure light gleaming in
Wherein the sound of beating
Starts a true hearts beginning
A night sky traced within your eyes
Soft face in open arms
Sweetest love within your warmth
Rest my dreams upon your wish
Streaming wings the lords great kiss
Devine your scroll rolled open
Journey with me into bliss
A shooting star my loving token
Tender the fare harmony
Of love for you and love for me
Dance within our air and grace
Peaceful mind of light set free
All joy to be
All joy to be
