Mythic Valley - Gold Lyrics

When I was walking down an old street
I heard a trembling voice calling for me
He said "Can you spare some change for this
Old sack of bones?"

But then I wrestled some inside me
I asked him why he needs my hard earned keep
Don't you now that the world demands
More and more of my

Gold

Watching the days just slip away
Counting the hours till I stake my claim
It's getting late and they already
Turned the lights down so low

The sun and moon have seen the signs
The dream of many is just one big disguise
I's killing me just to make ends meet
And I gotta find me some more

Gold

And if you asked me how I'm doing
Why don't you ask me how I'm doing well
I'll tell you now, just how I'm doing

I've seen the last of love and beauty
I walk the ranks of willful duty
It seems again that I've followed blindly
Oh won't you please, just take my money kindly

Gold
