From the recording American Son
Lyrics
Gold
Loving is a mountain, I am weary on my feet
Looking for the light that filters down beneath the trees
And it’s gold, it’s gold, or so I’m told
Sometimes I get quiet like a sky without a moon
Leave me in my darkness, there is nothing you can do
‘Cause it’s gold, it’s gold, or so I’m told
Time is like an earthquake, always shaking something loose
Cracks the ground beneath your footsteps
Where and when you cannot choose
But it’s gold, it’s gold, or so I’m told
On this jagged peak there is nowhere left to hide
We are climbing the same mountain, we just come from different sides
And it’s gold, it’s gold, now I know
