Running Around My Heart
"Making the decision to have a child is momentous.
It is to decide to have your heart go walking around outside your body."
- Elizabeth Stone
Running all around my heart
My heart's running all around me now
But it's never been so near
And it's never been so dear
My heart's running all around me now
My heart's running all around me now
First you came along one by one
You were marching like a big girl
Then you came a-tumbling two by two
All around my living room
I used to be so free. It used to be all about me
Now I'm never running out of things to do
Running all around my heart
My heart's running all around me now
But it's never been so near
And it's never been so dear
My heart's running all around me now
My heart's running all around me now
I never thought it would go this far
You wake up one morning and there you are
A full house and a full bed
Gets a woman out of her head
Shaking songs and toys out of my guitar
Running all around my heart
My heart's running all around me now
But it's never been so near
And it's never been so dear
My heart's running all around me now
My heart's running all around me now
In the summer, you're my river king and queen
In the autumn I'll crown you with a ring of gold
In the winter, angels bright
Wish upon a star at night
In the springtime you're pushing through
All green and bold
Running all around my heart
My heart's running all around me now
But it's never been so near
And it's never been so dear
My heart's running all around me now
My heart's running all around me now
