Take This Heart of Gold Songtext

von Mandolin Orange

Take this heart of gold, and melt it down
I'll come around. I'll come around
I'm treading lightly in your eyes
And honey I can't live a lie
But a life without you could never steal 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 'til 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
I'll come around. I'll come around
I'm treading lightly in your eyes
And honey I can't live a lie
But a life without you could never steal 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
I'll come around. I'll come around
I'm treading lightly in your eyes
And honey I can't live a lie
But a life without you could never steal me now.
