Restless Heart
(click on the title to hear an excerpt)

You tell me that you won’t stay
No, you won’t stay here any longer
Then you tell me that you yearn for city things
For city streets you yearn to wander

Chorus:
Oh your restless heart
And your will to go
And a shovel blade and a deep dark hole
Where the cold wind blows
And the sun don’t shine
No, the sun don’t shine in this heart of mine

You tell me that you don’t mean no harm
You don’t mean no harm
That you still love me
Then you tell me that I suffocate
That I hold you back from your restless fate

Chorus

Well, I tell you that beneath this desert sky
This very night is where you will die
And the rattlesnake, he will guard your grave
He will guard your grave for a long, long time.
And the big brown hawk he will sit and watch
He will sit and watch where the strangers walk
And I tell you this, my daughter, dear
Oh, my daughter, dear
I will protect you here from your restless heart . . .

Chorus
