Foolish Heart Lyrics - The Arista Years - Grateful Dead

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 weather chart 

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 [Repeats]
