Sitting with my lunchbox, plain bread “mother’s pride” Brown crust on the outside I couldn’t take my eyes off her She was playing and I was staying Pure of heart
From boy to man, the awkward stance, the guitar chords and also-rans The brown suede for the 60’s look The out of timeness, fashion blindness All the same I remained Pure of heart
Dreaming of fame and all its glory The main thing I longed for was love The main thing I longed for was love
The scent of togetherness, the lavender upon her dress The girl in the garret stepping into time Lovers, friends let friends be lovers Now I know, I’ll need no other, I am Pure of heart
Explorations there to find, ego-tripping on my mind Too late for the garret, to the garret I said goodbye Lavender girl just shook her head and smiled and said “where’s the pure of heart?”
Flatter all the lovers you call friends Who knows who is true and who pretends
Back to the starting post, back to what means the most Take a look at all that I have learned Need a friend to be my lover And I know there’ll be other I’ll be pure of heart Come on take my hand and make me Pure of heart
