2nd verse same as the first, ( a little bit louder and a lot
bit worse) haha

My heart is as dark as the soil sodden with winter rain
(Lord brighten my heart)
My soul is as heavy as the peat freshly dug from the bog
(Lord lighten my soul)
My thoughts swirl like willow branches caught in autumn winds
(Lord still my thoughts)
My body is as tense as a cat as it stalks it's prey
(Lord relax my body)
