What you gonna do when the well runs dry, baby?
Sit on the bank and cry, cry, cry
What you gonna do when all your dreams crumble as they must?
When you realize your name is written in the dust
I know just how you feel
I know the pain you feel inside is real
It's breakin' your heart of gold
Oh baby, it's breakin' your heart of gold

Stare into your crystal ball, what do you see?
Are the lights so bright, your eyes so blind
You'd close the book on me?
Everything you're after has been locked behind the door
Lost without the key you won't be needing anymore
I know just how you feel
I know the pain you feel inside is real
It's breakin' your heart of gold
Oh baby, it's breakin' your heart of gold
Oooo, it can make your world so cold
Oh baby, it's breakin' your heart of gold
Step by step, so many times you just can't win
So, you take what you can get before the story ends
Then begin again
And again
