IT IS MY HEART INSIDE OF YOU song lyrics NERUDA 12
by Joel Sattler

[based on the 12th poem in 20 LOVE POEMS
by Pablo Neruda]

my heart beats in your chest
my wings are freedom mine
my mouth will reach the sky
what sleeps in you sublime

in you the dream of each new day
you come as dew to flower plays
you shake horizon when you're gone
forever flying like the waves

it is my heart inside of you
that beats one beat for every two
it can not be but still it's true
it is my heart inside of you

you sang in the wind I said
like pines or ships with many masts
as they are high and taciturn
then like a trip turn sad so fast

comfy like an old old road
that echoed voices people who
when I awoke migrating with
the little birds that slept in you

it is my heart inside of you
that beats one beat for every two
it can not be but it is true
it is my heart inside of you
