All across the west we traveled wayward for Found the weight of dreams in gold Heaven sent us here to meet the hallowed shore To claim the wealth that we had sold
Gold mines melting many men in the sunshine Spoiled wine tastes so sweet we have gone blind Gold mines melting many men in the sunshine Spoiled wine tastes so sweet we have gone blind
We stole from her a cloak of studded majesty The queen is dead, we robbed her grave You can still bathe in the river, but it ran dry And all of us have turned away
Gold mines melting many men in the sunshine Spoiled wine tastes so sweet we have gone blind Gold mines melting many men in the sunshine Spoiled wine tastes so sweet we have gone blind Ah, ah, ah Ah, ah, ah
