Heaven Has A Heart Lyrics

heroes get forgotten
good men overthrown
I found true love
then I lost my love
so I'll carry out my days alone

but I won't parade my sorrows
we all have our own tunes to moan
but here is a truth
that everyone must swallow
heaven has a heart of stone

build your castles with diamonds and marble and steel
and you get knocked down
live your life with compassion and humility
still you get knocked down
I'm not saying
'don't fall in love... don't reach for the stars...'
but everyone should know
that heaven has a heart of stone

and you can want it with every fibre of your being
but how it plays out in the end is never sure
my baby got so thin I didn't know her
then she slipped away for evermore

and what's another grain of sorrow upon the world
with nations of people reduced to ashes and bone?
still, what kind of heaven gives you something then
takes it from you?
a heaven with a heart of stone
