lyrics

Like the river running
who knows where
Down from the hills
so brown and bare
My love was here
and now she’s gone
I am left here in this barren lands
With nothing in my tired old hands
I shake my head and carry on

I spent so long sifting gold
Cheating death and growing old
Then I found a jewel deep in the soil
And shuffled off this mortal coil

Down by the stream I wash my face
I try to wipe out every trace
It’s better now I know you’re gone
So hard to carry a heavy heart
A burden since we had to part
I would have had no chance
to carry on

I spent so long sifting gold
Cheating death and growing old
Then I found a jewel deep in the soil
And shuffled off this mortal coil

She shared with me a flash of bliss
And paired with me for a parting kiss
The end was here before the start
You will go on to inspire those
Like me who’s hearts had almost froze
The greatest gift tho’ we had to part

I spent so long sifting gold
Cheating death and growing old
Then I found a jewel deep in the soil
And shuffled off this mortal coil
