State Of The Heart Lyrics - Peter, Paul & Mary

There are voices by my pillow, they remind me when to rise 

And they tell me if my morning's under gray or sunny skies 

And then they dedicate a record, 'Our love will never die' 

By a group that's been disbanded though it's seldom mentioned why 

But they say that there's a chip in every part of the state of the heart 

Answering an ancient invitation 

When's the proper time for us to go? 

Turning from our separate destinations 

Now we say goodbye, and now we say hello 

But there are signs out on the highway, writing on the walls 

Hungry eyes at the doorways with the drifting dreamer falls 

And we can watch it on our TV's, there's a dish out on the lawn 

And we wonder where the valley of reality has gone 

When they say they've got a tape on every part of the state of the heart 

And I dream about this city, the streets are paved with gold 

And the spirit lives forever and the body can't go on 

And they say the [street] is narrow, [incomprehensible] and true 

And I know it's made for lovers 'cause I've seen what love can do 

And I know that when we die we never part from the state of the heart
