lyrics

Harry with a heart of gold
Extracted from his weathered hands
A piece of china shaped into a bull

He gave it to a girl he knew
And she took to him out the blue
So goes the way of Harry heart of gold

With wild hair and easy eyes
A broken lip and smoky sighs
He’d make you be a fool for his cool

But you could never be mad
He’d always make you feel less sad
His heart of gold was up there with the sun

One time I fell upon my head
Broke the skin, the blood had fled
There was no one there to save me I could see

But Harry showed up drunk as hell
And carried my ass up the stairs
And turns out it was just a little scratch

He had a way of trickin’ you
Into never bein’ blue
Throwin’ empty seeds into the wind

He even had a child, he said
He left in Massachuse, he said
And nothin’ made him sadder, oh he said

But now he’s gone up the stairs
The girls who loved him shed the tears
And the sun never shone as bright again

But I’ll remember Harry, yes
For all he was, and that he ain’t
Cause’ baby, he was such a pretty fool

In No Masters in Paradise, the form of the songwriter’s ballad, in the hands of an expert, is turned inward for comfort, resisting the base lure of worldly approval. ... more
