Foolish Heart Lyrics by Grateful Dead

Foolish Heart Lyrics

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

    Leap from ledges
    Leap from ledges high and wild
    Learn to speak
    Speak with wisdom like a child
    Directly from the heart
    Crown yourself the king of clowns
    Or stand way back apart
    But never give your love, my friend,
    Unto a foolish heart

    Shun a friend
    Shun a brother and a friend
    Never look
    Never look around the bend
    Or check a weatherchart
    Sign the mona lisa
    With a spray can, call it art
    But never give your love, my friend,
    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 your love, my friend
    Unto a foolish heart

    Unto a foolish heart....
