Heart Of Gold (Side A- The Beauty) Lyrics

What started off with dinner

And a glass or two of wine

Ended with the words

Is it your place babe or mine

In the morning he's awake

And on his second cigarette

She gets dressed and holds her breath

That she's not something he regrets

He'll be the first to love you

Like it's the last love of your life

His words can heal your heart

Or they can cut you like a knife

He's got so many stories

That he's never even told

His lungs might be black

But he's got a heart of gold

They know to keep their guards up

Because they've both been burned

So keeping distance from the fire

Is a lesson they've both learned

But he can't smoke his cigarettes

Without a match or lighter

And she can't stand the cold

So he holds her even tighter

He'll be the first to love you

Like it's the last love of your life

His words can heal your heart

Or they can cut you like a knife

He's got so many stories

That he's never even told

His lungs might be black

But he's got a heart of gold

Oh she's about to go up in flames

She knows that she's falling

And she knows that he's to blame

He'll be the first to love you

Like it's the last love of your life

His words can heal your heart

Or they can cut you like a knife

He's got so many stories

That he's never even told

His lungs might be black

But he's got a heart of gold

Yeah I'll love him forever

'Cause this fire can't be controlled

His lungs might be black

But he's got a heart of gold
