Jerry Garcia
Foolish Heart (Live at Civic Arena, Pittsburgh, PA, April 2, 1989)
[Verse 1]
Carve your name
Carve your name in ice and wind
Look to where
Look to where the rivers end
Or where the rivers start
[Chorus]
Everything that's in you
You think to be your part
Never give your love, my friend
Unto a foolish heart
Unto a foolish heart
[Verse 2]
Learn to leap
Leap from ledges high and wild
Learn to speak
Speak with wisdom like a child
Directly to the heart
[Chorus]
Crown yourself the king of clowns
Or stand way back apart
And never give your love, my friend
Unto a foolish heart
Unto a foolish heart
[Verse 3]
Shun a friend
Shun a brother and a friend
Look to where
Look to where the rivers bend
Or check the weather chart
[Chorus]
Sign the Mona Lisa
With a spray can, call it art
Never give your love, my friend
Unto a foolish heart
Unto a foolish heart
[Bridge]
Foolish heart will call on you
To throw your dreams away
Turn around and blame you
For the way things went astray
Foolish heart will cost you sleep
And ought to make you curse
A selfish heart is trouble
But a foolish heart is worse
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
Bite the hand
Bite the hand that bakes your bread
Get to where
Get to where the angels tread
Or you get torn apart
[Chorus]
Light the coal of paradise
With coals from hell to start
Never give your love, my friend
Unto a foolish heart
Unto a foolish heart
[Outro]
Unto a foolish heart
Unto a foolish heart
Unto a foolish heart
Unto a foolish heart
Unto a foolish heart
Unto a foolish heart
[Instrumental Outro]
