THE POWER OF GOLD lyrics
The Power of Gold (Dan Fogelberg)
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
The letters and calls
And everyone wants a favour
They beg to remind you
They beg to remind 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
And 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
Then tell me that you're free
of the power of gold
