WARMHEART LAKE
©Trev Teasdel Middlesbrough March 1981


I will spend a fortune
in wit and ingenuity
to keep our love
from flowing out and away
from Warmheart Lake.


I will invest all my capital
of mind and spirit
in the interest of love’s
booming industry.


If you should ever leave me
with only memories
If you should ever go
my heart would break.
If you should ever flow
out and away from Warmheart Lake


I’d sharpen every pencil
to give our love a clear definition
Each day the kiss of life
to keep our love alive.
I’d never let it flow out
and away from Warmheart Lake.


I’d learn to ride the ripples of each day
Teach my heart in line to stay
with raw emotions not stray
I’d make you want to stay in
the waters of Warmheart Lake.
