“Deep In My Heart” down-tempo rhythms underpin a poignant revisiting the last moments with a grandmother and the beauty in the fragility at the end of life. This song is dedicated to Rita Gaudin.
lyrics
Deep in My Heart
Your hands
Your strong hands
Used to hold me,
Feed me, bathe me
Now, they’re tiny twigs
Veined like pale leaves
Your eyes
Your brown eyes
Used to scrutinize me
Now the faintest glimmer
Is all you can perceive
You’ve known me all my days
And time keeps passing by
And we just keep changing
And nothing stays the same
Nothing stays the same
Your skin,
Your pale skin,
So soft, not dry like paper
For all its lines and creases
It’s so soft, so delicate, so soft…
And I’ll remember you
Your eyes, your hands, your skin
And hold you always
Deep in my heart
Deep in my heart
Deep in my heart
