Oh this precious little heart I have
Once caged in iron ribs
And so full of promise
Seems shadowed, dried up, and wholly spent
God bless this precious little heart I have
And this precious little heart I have
Would take everything you own
Just to make itself whole
And I should have seen it �fore we began
I could have saved your precious little heart
From the wretched heart I have
And these lessons never learned
Come a-hammering down
Time and again
My face is burning red
Singing �you knew it, boy you knew it,
But you did it anyway,
And you got the nerve to call yourself a man
When all consequences swept up like sand.�
It�s like the devil�s got his own icy hand
Wrapped �round this precious little heart I have.
Oh this precious little heart I have
So wanted to be yours
But just couldn�t keep its promises
So the thing I need but can�t seem to grasp
Been shot down once again
By this wretched heart I have
And these lessons never learned
Come a-hammering down
Time and again
My face is burning red
Singing �you knew it, boy you knew it,
But you did it anyway,
And you got the nerve to call yourself a man
When all consequences swept up like sand.�
It�s like the devil�s got his own icy hand
Wrapped �round this precious little heart I have.
Wrapped �round this wretched little heart I have.
