What’s Closest To The Heart
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
What’s closest to the heart comes out
Closest, next or near it
What’s closest to the heart comes out
Listen, you’ll hear it
We have come the weary roads
Through the weather
In the hollow of the wild
Will we be together?
Come in from the wind and rain
Come in from the thunder
Come in with your aching heart
I won’t see you go under
I’ll hold you from the bitter cold
Through the wonder
In the hollow of the wild
No more need to hunger
What’s closest to the heart comes out
Closest, next or near it
What’s closest to the heart comes out
You’ll hear it
Music in the darkest night
With you beside me
In the hollow of the wild
Come and feel the warming fire
You and me, me and you
Will you come? You’re welcome to
‘A dtiocfá tú? (Will you come?)
