[whole and half hearts / poemsong]

this is my little baby
she likes to play in the sun
this is my heart breaking
all at once

there goes that old lady
her flowers are pretty ones
she's seen the birds bathing
twice this month

dismal skies have gone away now
        we are keeping the rain at bay
        your eyes seem different somehow
        let's watch the horses play

the sun makes the window hazy
and the flowers are reaching up
my heart has been aching
all too much

the carousel has slowed way down
        it must be the end of the day
        soon the moon will reflect around
        the empty fireplace
