Follow Your Heart

(album: Close To The Bone - 1987)

You say they've been making plans
Oh your life's not your own it's out of your hands
You can betray your dreams
Or trade them in for a life that's easy to lead
(Or you could) gather pearls on a coral reef
Walk the wall of China
Fall in love with me

You better follow your heart
Don't let no-one else do your living for you
Follow your heart (follow your heart)
And to yourself and no-one else always be true

How will you be the one
If you dance to the beat of another man's drum
How will you feel the sun
Knowing all the time it could've been love
(Or you could) sail down the Nile on a royal barge
Be a mother or a lover
You could go far

You better follow your heart
Don't let no-one else do your living for you
Follow your heart (follow your heart)
And to yourself and no-one else always be true

Do you really wanna live on dreams
Forever thinking what could've been
Do you really wanna play the game
Forever looking for someone to blame

And do you really wanna stand in line
Keeping the faith 'til you're old 'n tired
Do you really wanna live on lies
Or watch as your life just passes you by
(Or you could) gather pearls on a coral reef
Walk the Wall of China
Fall in love with me

You better follow your heart
Don't let no-one else do your living for you
Follow your heart (follow your heart)
And to yourself and no-one else always be true

You gotta follow your heart
Oh, don't let no-one else do your living for you
Follow your heart (follow your heart)
And to yourself and no-one else always be true

Follow your heart
(You gotta follow your heart)
Follow your heart
(Follow, follow your heart)
Follow your heart
(You gotta follow your heart)
Follow your heart
(Follow, follow your heart)
