"RESTLESS HEART"
© 1993 Tigerbee music - tigerbee@hotmail.com"Some of the most contented people I've met, didn't even have a place to live. If offered something to eat they'd say "Give it to someone who needs it more than I do." Think about that when you're buying your third T.V. set. In the music style of Sting, this also deals with the Eastern point of view that all material things are illusionary."
THERE WAS A MAN OF NO MEANS, WHO ENVIED ALL HE SAW

HE BARGAINED WITH THE DEVIL, SO HE COULD HAVE IT ALL
SEVEN YEARS OF SPLENDOR, FOR A DESTINY OF WOE
HE TRADED IN FOR RICHES, HIS IMMORTAL SOUL
bridge...
AND HE FELT NO SORROW, AS HIS PEN TOUCHED ON
THE PAGE - HE THOUGHT THAT EARTHLY PLEASURES
COULD, RETURN HIM ALL HIS FAITH
chorus...
RESTLESS HEART, WHY DO YOU BEAT - ONLY FOR
WHAT MAY GLEAM - ALL YOU WANT, ISN'T REAL
YOUR DESIRES, WON'T CALM - YOUR RESTLESS HEART
HE ROBBED, POETS OF THEIR MUSIC & VIRGINS OF THEIR HEARTS
BLIND MEN OF THEIR VISIONS & THE HEAVENS OF THEIR STARS
FOR THE GLIMMER OF THESE BAUBLES & THE RANSOM OF HIS SOUL
HIS FOOLISHNESS FOR FORTUNE, LET HIM LOSE CONTROL
AS HIS HANDS WERE COUNTING, HIS GREED DID WELL TO HIDE
THE COLD & LONELY FEELING, THE EMPTINESS INSIDE
(chorus)
SEVEN YEARS HAD PASSED BY, JUST LIKE SEVEN DAYS
BUT ALL HIS EARTHLY TRINKETS, COULDN'T TARRY FATE
HE SAID THAT HE WAS PROMISED, AN ETERNITY OF WEALTH
THE DEVIL SMILED & UNLOCKED, THE FLAMING GATES OF HELL
THE CHAINS THAT HERE AWAIT YOU, ARE OF THE FINEST GOLD
A THOUSAND LIFETIMES RICHES, TO CARESS & HOLD
