Feet of Clay
guitar chords lyrics
He left the house that in the morning, with his briefcase and his lunch,
An' drove off in that big old Ford.
He came back homer that evenin' in a shiny little red thing,
An' I heard her whisper: "Oh My Lord."
An she got that look around her mouth that always seemed to settle,
When she had a real bad day.
I only saw his halo,
But she saw his feet of clay.
Oh, he loved her and she loved him,
In their own peculiar way.
I never knew that love had feet of clay.
An' she grew up believin', 'cos everybody told her,
The world would be a pearl in her hand.
So she married her a prince, who swore he'd always love her,
And he built her a castle on sand.
The world would be a pearl in her hand.
So she married her a prince, who swore he'd always love her,
And he built her a castle on sand.
And the things she never told him when he tried to understand her,
Were the things she couldn't say.
So she threw away her old glass slippers,
'Cos they didn't fit her feet of clay.
Oh, he loved her and she loved him,
In their own peculiar way.
I never knew that love had feet of clay.
And the trouble with those feet of clay,
When it rains too hard, they melt away.
Or hold you fast 'til life has passed you by.
Now we've learned that no-one's perfect, and no matter how you try,
You're gonna break a heart someday.
But still each time I see them, looking in each other's eyes,
I wanna be in love that way.
'Cos she always wants to meet him when he opens up the door,
At the end of every day.
With a halo shining in his eyes,
Standing on feet of clay.
Oh, he loves her and she loves him,
In their own peculiar way.
As they dance through life together,
On their feet of clay.
Oh, he loves her and she loves him,
In their own peculiar way.
As they dance through life together,
On their feet of clay.
