hearts desire

Gerry Rafferty

Oh my love, this has been the hardest station,
Travelling on till you donââ?¬â?¢t know what to say,
And now you see the change in me, when I get so tired,
Thereââ?¬â?¢s a price to pay, for your hearts desire.

In all these years, you and I have been together,
You trusted me, leaving me to show the way.
And now you find that I was blind, no use calling me a liar,
Thereââ?¬â?¢s a price to pay, for your hearts desire

While youââ?¬â?¢ve been living in a different world,
Iââ?¬â?¢ve been sitting here waiting,
While youââ?¬â?¢ve been living in a different world,
Iââ?¬â?¢ve been saving my love for you, in the way that youââ?¬â?¢d want me to,
Iââ?¬â?¢ve been crying over you so long.

And now youââ?¬â?¢ve got everything you ever wanted,
But money canââ?¬â?¢t buy you a satisfied mind.
What can you do when a dream comes true
And you canââ?¬â?¢t go any higher,
Thereââ?¬â?¢s a price to pay for your hearts desire.

One man dreams of silver and gold, another man dreams of saving his soul,
Itââ?¬â?¢s just an illusion and nothing but dreams within dreams
Donââ?¬â?¢t look down, donââ?¬â?¢t look back when youââ?¬â?¢re walking on the wire
Thereââ?¬â?¢s a price to pay for your hearts desire.

While youââ?¬â?¢ve been living in a different worldââ?¬¦.

One of these days, weââ?¬â?¢re going to find the right direction,
And the life that we knew, weââ?¬â?¢re going to leave it all behind.
Iââ?¬â?¢ve had enough of all that stuff, letââ?¬â?¢s not wallow in the mire,
Thatââ?¬â?¢s the price you pay for your hearts desire.
