Gerard Heathcote Biography

You broke my heart into a million pieces
With a blunt pick axe that never ceases
Like a stuck record jumps it’s groove
To repeat the blow to somehow prove
...

Disguised in a bright sunny day
The distance belies across the bay
Clear and bright the air and sea
Cliffs seem close as you and me
...

Arnie’s black with some grey hairs
He sits and watches on your stairs
His eyes are bright alert and green
Nothing moves and goes unseen
...

A song of sorrow birds’ incant
By the Helford river trees whisper
In my ear I feel the echo of your voice
Long gone the reality of partings choice
...

My mind has been stolen I have no control
I can’t get rid of this tormented soul
You may laugh concealed in the dim light
We mask our feelings with happy smiles
...
