Gold Rush

How could I be the last to know

When they told me where the fool had gone?

I was but the youngest one

Up there on the hills they're climbing on

You went up with an open heart

(When they found you it was all but cold

Those hounds they sink so low)?

Up there on the hills they're climbing on

You saw the light of gold and rushed

You said you couldn't fight it off

This is the story of the one you lost

And I wanted to run over your love

You found it in the deepest thorns

Got it out from the darkest wells

Bring your heartstrings with the bales

Up there on the hills they're climbing on

And if I hadn't drowned up there

In the night before the storm took hold

I know I would find them gold

Up there on the hills they're climbing on

Another side of gold you rushed

Oh I could never fight them all

Another story of the one you lost

And I wanted to run over your love

In the darkest of days

In my daydreams there

There in the eye of that tempest

You're nearer to me

21 years

You've been here every morning

21 holes as you pull

But they're fading now

I'm still there waiting

How could I be the last to know

When they told me where the fool had gone?

Oh I was but the youngest one

Up there on the hills they'll find me

Oh another side of gold you rushed

Oh I could never fight them all

Another story of the one you lost

And I wanted to run over

I wanted to take over

I wanted to run over your love
