WHAT'S WITHIN MY HEART

Written by: Ken Hensley
Recorded at 'Look At Yourself' sessions 1971, released for the first time on 'The Lansdowne Tapes' compilation 1993


Will I never see again
The smiling faces of my friends
Could it be they’ve gone completely
And though thoughts will linger
Sweetly in my heart

May I hear once more
The bird calls my name
May I be permitted just one friend
To share my game

The one who doesn’t give a damn
For what I seem to be
And really cares for what I am
And what’s within my heart

I believe the sun will shine
And I know that given time
The leaves will blow tumble
And cry upon the autumn stone below

And my heart grows tired each day
As the sun grow cold
Weary uninspired each day
Til the story is told

You gave your love to one
Who only wants what you seem to be
And doesn’t really care for you
Or what’s within your heart

On my grave lay one black rose
Do this for me but don’t suppose
Because I’m gone, my soul is dead
For I’ll be here in spirit
And our love once more

There must be a heart somewhere
In need of the love I have
That will reach out in sincerety
And take my life in hand

Then I’ll know it’s not someone
Who wants just what I seem to be
The one who cares for what I am
And what’s within my heart

What’s within my heart ...
