Dan Fogelberg & Tim Weisberg - Power Of Gold lyrics

rate me

The story is told of the power of gold

And its lure on the unsuspecting

It glitters and shines it badgers and blinds

And constantly needs protecting

Balance the cost of the soul you lost

With the dreams you lightly sold

Are you under the power of gold?

The letters and calls

Got you climbing the walls

And everyone wants a favor

They beg to remind you

Of times left behind you

But you know the past is a loser

The face you're wearing is different now

And the days run hot and cold

Are you under the power of gold, the power of gold?

You're a creature of habit run like a rabbit

Scared of a fear you can't name

Your own paranoia is looming before you

But nobody thinks that it's a game

Balance the cost of the soul you lost

With the dreams you lightly sold

Then tell me that you're free of the power of gold, the power of gold

The women are lovely the wine is superb

But there's something about the song that disturbs you

...
