Take This Heart of Gold

Take this heart of gold

And melt it down

And I'll come around

I'll come around

I'm treadin' lightly in your eyes

Honey, I can't live a lie

But a life without you

Could never still me now

With so much time to spend

Why paint this house again

When the floorboards creak

And pull you from your slumber?

Well, I'd hold you till the end

But, honey, even oaks must bend

If we intend to stick with

One another

So take this heart of gold

And melt it down

And I'll come around

I'll come around

I'm treadin' lightly in your eyes

And, honey, I can't live a lie

But a life without you

Could never still me now

Out the door, and down the drive

There's a part of me that tries

To keep that highway's call to me away

And another, further still

That, sadly, never will

Feel at home no matter how long I may stay

So take this heart of gold

And melt it down

And I'll come around

I'll come around

I'm treadin' lightly in your eyes

And, honey, I can't live a lie

But a life without you

Could never still me now
