No One Gives Their Heart Away

by Nick Jaina

no one gives their heart away
you must wait, you must wait, you must wait
inside every book
is a story that they took
from some true lovers like you and me

no one gives their heart away
you must wait, you must wait, you must wait
inside every person
is a heart that must be won
so don't give in, your time is not done

no one gives their dreams away
you must stay, you must hope, you must pray
behind every bluff
from the skies up above
are the dried-up tears of those you've loved
la da da da da 

oh my love
I'll sing softly of
the parliamentary spires
which are far below
the rocket engine fires

which are still beneath
our feet as we
stretch out on this lawn
the beanstalks that
have brought us here
are gone

oh my love, give your heart
to anyone who asks
there's a light on in the doorway
you can walk right in
