Foolish Heart

Carve your name

Carve your name in ice and wind

Search for where

Search for where the rivers end

Or where the rivers start

Do everything that's in you

That you feel to be your part

But never give your love, my friend,

Unto a foolish heart



Leap from ledges

Leap from ledges high and wild

Learn to speak

Speak with wisdom like a child

Directly from the heart

Crown yourself the king of clowns

Or stand way back apart

But never give your love, my friend,

Unto a foolish heart



Shun a friend

Shun a brother and a friend

Never look

Never look around the bend

Or check a weatherchart

Sign the mona lisa

With a spray can, call it art

But never give your love, my friend,

Unto a foolish heart



A foolish heart will call on you

To toss your dreams away

Then turn around and blame you

For the way you went astray

A foolish heart will cost you sleep

And often make you curse

A selfish heart is trouble

But a foolish heart is worse



Bite the hand

Bite the hand that bakes your bread

Dare to leap

Where the angels fear to tread

Till you are torn apart

Stoke the fires of paradise

With coals from hell to start

But never give your love, my friend

Unto a foolish heart



Unto a foolish heart....
