Lyrics
Wrapped Around My Heart
Running down the road - silver wings unfold
Dragonfly show me the way
Shadow child ? it?s in your smile
You know what they say
It just takes awhile
How many miles as the crow flies?
Tell me I?ll know cause you left without saying?
Clearly this world is for living
I?m happy to say I?m not angry (anymore)?
I see you in the rain and lightning
It?s easy to see why you?re wrapped around my heart.
When you find your way come back and stay
You?re the brightest star I?ve ever seen.
Shadow child ? it?s in your smile
You know what they say
It just takes awhile
