Deep in the attic of your heart
Are things long forgotten
Melodies of songs once sung
Hats, scarves and shoes
Deep in the attic of your heart
Are memories of victories won
Tickets, trophies and jewellery too
Each with their meaning
Within the deep recesses of your mind
Love brought them here
These precious things
A capsule of time
Tears brought them here
On merciless days
Where grief found its comfort in some
Deep in the attic of your heart
Are moments of time
Held in the palms of my hands
Did I care?
Did I live with you there?
In the trinkets and fate of tears
Measured in love
Every moment was know
Every delight, disaster and fear
Measured in love
I breathed into your soul
Hope, and comfort and song
Can you find them again?
Those trinkets
In the deep attic of your mind?
Is it true?
Did I know every one
Did you learn of me there with you?
Yes, I have lived with you long
In the secret place
Of the attic of your heart
Some call me luck
Some call me hope
Some their dreams and desires
I call me Your Secret Place
Your refuge and your Lord
