“I was looking for a heart of gold,
Like that songbird of old.
That is what I found in you.
That is all I knew.
Electric lights,
Our minds so bright,
You wanted me to fly.
One day I flew.
I had to go,
That’s all I knew.
How I wish I hadn’t hurt you,
And your heart of gold.
How I wish I hadn’t hurt you,
And that’s all I know.
Twelve years have all gone
And it’s so late to write a song,
But I can hope
That you’re still there
For friendship deep and rare.
I was looking…
Here’s the only way I know to tell you
The love that you intended to give
Finally sunk in.
Here’s the only way I know
To say I’m sorry,
And soothe the place I caused you pain
So long ago.
I was looking…”
