Brand on My Heart

My troubled old heart dear is

Beating with pain

You've gone and I know I'm the one

Who's to blame

You've gone in the world dear

To make a new start

And left as a mem'ry you're brand

On my heart

They say you were crying while

Packing your things

And left me your locket

And bright golden rings

The plans for your future

I've broken apart

Now all I have left is you're brand

On my heart

You say you are sorry it ended this way

And that I'll find someone

To love me someday

Another to cherrish the love we once knew

But darling that someone can only be you

The flowers you planted that rose

You loved best

Its dark velvet petals are

Now closed in death

The birds have hushed singing it

All plays a part

To deepen the wound of you're

Brand on my heart

I'm appealing to you for

Forgiveness today

For all of your tears darling

I've had to pay

If you'll just forgive me we'll

Make a new start

And no more will I carry you're

Brand on my heart
