• Foolish Heart
    Lyrics By:
    Music By:

    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, you feel to be your part
    But never give your love my friend unto a foolish heart
    Unto a foolish heart

    Dare to leap, leap from ledges high and wide
    Learn to speak, speak with wisdom like a child
    Directly to the heart
    Crown yourself the king of clowns or stand way back apart
    But never give your love my friend unto a foolish heart
    Unto a foolish heart

    Shun a friend, shun a brother and a friend
    Never look, never look around the bend
    Or check the weather chart
    Sign the Mona Lisa with a spray can, call it art
    But never give your love my friend unto a foolish heart
    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 you love my friend unto a foolish heart
    Unto a 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, you feel to be your part
But never give your love my friend unto a foolish heart
Unto a foolish heart

Dare to leap, leap from ledges high and wide
Learn to speak, speak with wisdom like a child
Directly to the heart
Crown yourself the king of clowns or stand way back apart
But never give your love my friend unto a foolish heart
Unto a foolish heart

Shun a friend, shun a brother and a friend
Never look, never look around the bend
Or check the weather chart
Sign the Mona Lisa with a spray can, call it art
But never give your love my friend unto a foolish heart
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 you love my friend unto a foolish heart
Unto a foolish heart
