[Verse 1] Here is my harvest of heartbreak Here is my threshing of tears I'd give you my dream, but I lost it Down in the locust years [Chorus 1] Still praise is the song that I'm singing Even though sorrow's my tune Oh, my love is only a whisper now But nothing is wasted with You [Verse 2] Here is my secret miscarriage Here is my public...Learn More
