Peter, Paul and Mary — State of the Heart

[Verse 1] There are voices by my pillow They remind me when to rise And they tell me if my morning's Under grey or sunny skies And then they dedicate a record "Our Love Will Never Die" By a group that's been disbanded Though it's seldom mentioned why But they say that there's a chip in every part Of the state of the heart [Bridge] Answering an ancient invitation When's the proper time for us to go? Turning from our separate destinations Now we say goodbye, and now we say hello [Verse 2] But there are signs out on the highway Writing on the walls Hungry eyes and always With a drifting dreamer falls And we can watch it on our TV's There's a dish out on the lawn And we wonder where the valley Of reality has gone When they say they've got a tape on every part Of the state of the heart [Verse 3] And I dream about this city Oh the streets are paved with gold And the spirit lives forever And a body can't grow old And though they say the gate is narrow The path is straight and true And I know it's made for lovers 'Cause I've seen what love can do And I know that when we die we never part From the state of the heart
