This is a song lyric that I haven't recorded yet.

​

​

The Heart Will Have It’s Turn

 

It’s that late night summer starlight that follows you home

But the twinkle just reminds you that you’re on your own

You’re just another wave washing up on the same old shore

And you’re empty heart is telling you it yearns for so much more

 

Oh the night is space and the air is still and you once again confess

To the missing of another heart and a profound emptiness

That hole just keeps on growing as you hunger and you burn

But the hope lies in the knowing that the heart will have it’s turn

 

The heart will have it’s turn

To the diamond from the coal

Love’s the voice you learn

Until it’s singing from your soul

 

When you’re lonely and you’re cold

There’s an ember that will burn

When it’s kindled by the spark

Of a heart that has it’s turn

 

For every step you take upon the sidewalk of despair

There’s a step that you are missing and a hand that isn’t there

A voice that isn’t listening and a heart that’s deaf and blind

But love lies waiting round the corner while it’s living in your mind

 

Oh the days are long and you’re not as strong as you’d like to be

You’re heart is holding out for another heart to set it free

And you’re tossing like a lonely ship rocked from bow to stern

There’s a port on the horizon where the heart will have it’s turn

 

The heart will have it’s turn

Just as sunlight breaks through rain

Keep it safe and hold it dear

Till it fills with love again

 

When you’re lonely and you’re cold

Just let one ember burn

Until it’s kindled by the spark

Of a heart that has it’s turn
