Heart Of Gold
Neil Young · Official Release Series Discs 1 - 4 [2012]
I wanna live, I wanna give
I've been a miner for a heart of gold
It's these expressions that never give
Keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
They keep me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
I've been to Hollywood, I've been to redwood
I've crossed the ocean for a heart of gold
I've been in my mind, its such a fine line,
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
It keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
Keeps me searching for a heart of gold,
Keeps me searching and I'm growing old
Keeps me searching for a heart of gold
I've been a miner for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old.
I've been a miner for a heart of gold
It's these expressions that never give
Keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
They keep me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
I've been to Hollywood, I've been to redwood
I've crossed the ocean for a heart of gold
I've been in my mind, its such a fine line,
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
It keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
Keeps me searching for a heart of gold,
Keeps me searching and I'm growing old
Keeps me searching for a heart of gold
I've been a miner for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old.
Heart Of Gold - Neil Young
Neil Young's "Heart Of Gold" stands as a cornerstone of his acoustic repertoire, often associated with his 1972 album *Harvest*. While the track has been reissued in various compilations, including the 2012 Official Release Series, its enduring appeal lies in its melodic simplicity and introspective lyrics. The song exemplifies Young's ability to blend folk and country influences with a distinct, raw vocal delivery that defines his early career. It remains a staple of his discography, frequently covered by other artists and recognized as a significant contribution to the American folk revival of the early 1970s.
