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 beautiful 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)

One day you're jumping in puddles and the next
thing you know, 30 years have passe and you're telling
your kids to walk around them. Everyone is taught
to look both ways before crossing the steet and
to talk quietly in the libaray. But no one ever learns
anything that matters, like how to keep breathing when your
heart breaks in half.
