I wandered by a mill
I could not hear the water
The murmuring it was still
Not a sound of any grasshopper
Nor the chirp of any bird
But the beating of my own heart
Was the only sound I heard
The beating of my own heart
Was the only sound I heard
Then silent tears fast flowing
When someone stood beside
A hand upon my shoulder
I knew the touch was kind
He drew me near and nearer
We neither spoke one word
But the beating of our own two hearts
Was the only sound I heard
The beating of our own two hearts
Was the only sound I heard
Then silent tears fast flowing
When someone stood beside
A hand upon my shoulder
I knew the touch was God
I wandered by a brookside I wandered by a mill I could not hear the water The murmuring it was still Not a sound of any grasshopper Nor the chirp of any bird But the beating of my own heart Was the only sound I heard The beating of my own heart Was the only sound I heard Then silent tears fast flowing When someone stood beside A hand upon my shoulder I knew the touch was kind He drew me near and nearer We neither spoke one word But the beating of our own two hearts Was the only sound I heard The beating of our own two hearts Was the only sound I heard Then silent tears fast flowing When someone stood beside A hand upon my shoulder I knew the touch was God Explain Request ×
