When You Give Your Heart Songtext

von Laura Veirs

Since you lay my burdens
Since you lay my burdens
Since you lay my burdens down
All the troubles I've been
Dragging down this trail
Seep into the thirsty ground

Since you turned your light
Upon my darkened dale
The pollinators flex their wings
And take into the air
Spin their emeraldine
Webs across the swales and prairies

And my stampeding buffalo
Stops in her tracks and watches the snow
Falling through the old oak tree
When you give your heart to me

This is my song of love
Gathered from stuff above
The wires, feathers and the clouds
This is a song for you
A spring comes bubbling through
The place whenever you're around

And my stampeding buffalo
Stops in her tracks and watches the snow
Falling through the old oak tree
When you give your heart to me
