a slow step away from this cloud
a giant heartbeat through the storm
in a heartbeat
i can feel
it all

slow tempers
shallow water
painted faces walking in tune
to the waterfall

hidden away from autumn
in a heartbeat
i will fall

heavy tears
hidden by the rain
broken handshakes
i am a prisoner

in the trees we are all still naked
see the horses calmly flashing by
i see my tears
washed away
in a heartbeat
i close my eyes
-a lonely heart far from home-
