Golden Tears from Heartwood by Karl S. Williams

[Verse 1]
I know what it’s like to be a fool for somebody
I know, only too well
But I’d rather be a fool
Than be left lonesome and cool
With none of these brokedown stories to tell

[Chorus]
Break me, unmake me
Oh mercy you saved me
Shake me, forsake me
O Lord
You made me cry Golden tears
You made me cry Golden tears
You made me cry Golden tears
You made me cry

[Verse 2]
I know what it’s like to fall head over heels
I know, just how that feels
But I’d rather fall hard
Than just fall apart
Waiting for winter to yield

[Chorus]
Break me, unmake me
Oh mercy you saved me
Shake me, forsake me
O Lord
You made me cry Golden tears
You made me cry Golden tears
You made me cry Golden tears
You made me cry

[Bridge]
O Lord
I know what it’s like
O Lord
I know what it’s like
To feel love
Passing you by

[Chorus]
Break me, unmake me
Oh mercy you saved me
Shake me, forsake me
O Lord
You made me cry Golden tears
You made me cry Golden tears
You made me cry Golden tears
You made me cry
