A Poem, A Song

Yesterday was a bad bad day. Went for my first PS Tutorial and I felt like a complete idiot in that class. Totally lost and unsure as to what to do or say. Just sat there and blanked out. Came home and was feeling rather down, but was chatting with my friend and she gave me this poem which is her favourite poem. And as I owe Carol a song, I decided that I shall turn the poem into a song for her. So, here's the poem (as my friend recalls from memory):


i carry your heart with me (i carry it in my heart)
i am never without it (anywhere i go you go, my dear;
and whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling)
i fear no fate(for you are my fate, my sweet)
i want no world (for you are my world, my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you.

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;
which grows higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)


and here's the song:


I Carry Your Heart

VERSE 1
there's no fate i want
no world besides you
there's no other dance
no song besides you

and where you go i'll go
where you'll be i'll be with you
and what you do i'll do
what is done is me and you

PRE-CHORUS
and you are the lovely moon to me
and you are the song the sun will sing

CHORUS
i carry your heart with me
i'm never without it
i carry your heart with me
it's safe in mine

VERSE 2
you are my source
you are my life
you lift me higher than the soul can hope or hide
