Lyrics Isobel Campbell

Isobel Campbell

There Is No Greater Gold

Love used to be a stranger to me

Love was so disappointing

I was waiting for a sign

I was looking for some company

So I took a walk outside

What a lucky day

I saw the devil waiting for me

He'd bullets and green paper

He'd been walking through the earth

Swinging to and fro and down in it

As I turned to walk away

That's when I saw your face

Love, there is nothing better than this

Love, think of all the chances we miss

See the people walking by

With their mobile and computer eyes

If they'd just afford the time

There is no greater gold

Love, I don't think I'll see you again

It isn't easy you say we're friends

When you opened up your heart

Just enough to make me see again

When you stopped to take my hand

It was meant this way

It was meant this way
