Heartstones ~

Posted by LaRonda on July 25th, 2010

I crossed the ocean
for a heart of gold

I’ve been in my mind,
it’s such a fine line

That keeps me searching
for a heart of gold

I’ve been a miner
for a heart of gold.

You keep me searching
for a heart of gold

And I’m growing old.

(Heart of Gold ~ Neil Young)
