I have left my heart br In the high, high sky br That you might still see br When I’m gone, close by; br And I took your love br When you slept, sound, deep br And carried love away br Like a robber in your sleep. br br I wrapped it in feathers br And put it in a sack, br Hid it in a forest, then br Carried on my back, br Took a peek at nightshine br Saw the feathers heave, br Heard a little sigh then: br ‘Why did you leave? ’ br br And my tears flew wide br To the river, so long br That the banks ran over, br ‘Til the people were gone, br I’m a one man only br Like a dark, dark star br While you sky light morning br With a face-cream jar. br br I loved you then br Like I love you now br Like a heart that bursts br On an old ship’s prow; br Though I had to leave br When the moon went round br I will love you forever br ‘Til the sun burns down.
