Your Foolish Heart Songtext

like yesterday
on Granddad's knee
you learned to play
He got to see

to it you'd
do what you'd wanted to do every day
and he knew
You'd got nothing better to do anyway

up in the sky
a birdie sings
He likes to fly
He loves his wings

And while he sings
a horse goes by
with one fine thing
o'er either eye
and close behind
a carriage trails
'I am not blind'
they horsey wails

whinnying
'Do what you wanted to do every day
Anything
They've got nothing better for you anyway

out in the field
your mother sighs
as one more meal
around her dies

and while she cries
the birdie sings
that once you fly
You'll get your wings

And so it goes
or so I'm told
Your foolish heart
is good as gold
