Gold Rush

How could I be the last to know When they told me where the fool has gone Oh, 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 sing 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 want it to run over your love You found it in the deepest thorns Flooded up from the darkest wells Ring your heartstrings with the bells Up there on the hills they're climbing on And if I hadn't drowned up there Then the night before the storm took hold I know I would find them gold Up there on the hills they find me on Another sight of gold, you rushed "Oh, I could never fight them off" Another story of the one you lost And I want it to run over your love In the darkest of days, in my daydreams there In your eyes they find you ringing out Where, in the eye of that tempest, you're nearer to me In your eyes, the see you singing out Twenty-one years, you've been here, every morning In your eyes, the find you fading Twenty-one roses you hold, but they're fading now In your eyes, 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 on Another sight of gold, you rushed "Oh, I could never fight them off" Another story of the one you lost And I want it to run over I wanted to take over I want it to run over your love
