This Beggar's Heart |
This beggar’s heart that I’ve been given |
This beggar’s heart has a working door |
It may swing wide, it may be bolted |
To feel this world no more |
This voice I sing, it has been given |
This voice I sing will break down the door |
And what’s inside will find a friend or two |
And sing alone no more |
These hands of mine will do you bidding |
The hands will play in time and tune |
And time will show these hands have mattered |
If they have mattered to you |
These eyes of mine, they take your picture |
These eyes that see into and for |
I close my eyes and I still see you |
And see myself no more |
These feet have walked me through this lonesome world |
These feet have dropped me here today |
And I’ll be damned, I’m going where I’m going |
I’ve really known no other way |
These words I sing, they ring familiar |
These words I sing I’ve heard before |
Oh, fare thee well, my one and own true love |
I’ll see you in my dreams once more |
This song I sing is finally over |
You’re free to go about your way |
So bang the drums and turn the house lights on |
I’ve really nothing more to say |
