lyrics

My poor foolish heart is so eager to love
It longs to be tied way up above
The earth amidst the passing silver clouds
Ready to crash into hallowed the ground

My poor foolish heart, so full to the brim
Wants me to risk my life and my limb
But is tied back in my arms by ropes we call age
And so it sits among the stars watching the stage
Play out all the parts
Gazing at the errant hearts

If only you’d love learning to wait
Don’t you know blindness is your trait?
Love has stood before you
Waiting for you to know what’s true

My foolish heart, why won’t you believe
That it was truly love you perceived
Off in the distance, from your perch in sky
To give up on hope, is to die?

You don’t need to fall in the dirt
To realize how much you are worth
My heart, love is never as you bleed
But always, always, as you need

You’re so blind, I’m so blind, through and through
