about

Recorded by Matthew Cullen 2008.

lyrics

Once I had a secret treasure in my breast
lit my way through night and day,
and gave me peace and rest.
I don't know if somebody stole it, or if it left on its own.
Oh I had such a bright heart, where has my bright heart gone?

Now I wear the mask, and people rarely ask
to see the gloom beneath the gleam
the things behind the way things seem
and even I can't sound the bottom
of this sorrow pond
Oh I had such a bright heart, where has my bright heart gone?

When I was so light and free
I thought I'd go skipping over the seas
I thought I'd end up as a queen with seven daughters and sons
but I am not a queen at all I'm just a lowly pawn.
Oh I had such a bright heart, where has my bright heart gone?

SOmeday she will come back to me, some day she will come home
and when she does I'll ask her why she stayed away so long
and till she does I'll sing her this melancholy song:
Oh I had such a bright heart, where has my bright heart gone?
