This Beggar's Heart - Darrell Scott

This beggar’s heart that I’ve been given

This beggar’s heart has a working door

It may swing wide, it may be bolted

To feel this world no more

This voice I sing, it has been given

This voice I sing will break down the door

And what’s inside will find a friend or two

And sing alone no more

These hands of mine will do you bidding

The hands will play in time and tune

And time will show these hands have mattered

If they have mattered to you

These eyes of mine, they take your picture

These eyes that see into and for

I close my eyes and I still see you

And see myself no more

These feet have walked me through this lonesome world

These feet have dropped me here today

And I’ll be damned, I’m going where I’m going

I’ve really known no other way

These words I sing, they ring familiar

These words I sing I’ve heard before

Oh, fare thee well, my one and own true love

I’ll see you in my dreams once more

This song I sing is finally over

You’re free to go about your way

So bang the drums and turn the house lights on

I’ve really nothing more to say
