John Wesley Harding - Poor Heart lyrics

Poor heart

What to do?

Dim the light

There's no respite

For you

Poor heart

Can you see?

Or will you beat

A sad retreat for me

Poor heart?

Poor mouth

Poor eyes

Poor soul

Poor mind

Poor start

Poor heart

Poor heart

Look around

Who else remains

Who can contain

Your frown?

Poor heart

Why so vain?

Are you rich enough

To play so rough

Again

Poor heart?

Poor heart

Poor eyes

Poor soul

Poor mind

Poor start

Poor heart

Poor heart

Play your part

Nothing's done

Til it is sung

Poor heart
