Write a song for me, my love With your heart in your pen Your poetry and a broken verse The air that I breathe And your golden words Sing a song for me, my love With your heart in your lungs To carry your voice across the prairies And over the mountains And back home to me And I'll sing a song for you, my love And the birds will all know And I'll carry my heart over the shivering leaves And over great lakes and inland sea And we'll carry my heart back home to thee
