Years ago
I labored so
Spent my days always searching for the gold
Devoid of light
No end in sight
I chose to live 'neath the cover of the night
Then one day
A woman came
She wished to lay with me and ease my pain
I could not keep
Her love with me
I broke my vow and she began to weep
All my searching
It came to nothing
No gold did I find
One thousand mornings
One thousand evenings
No tears did I cry
It was pride
That struck me blind
I chose seclusion for my pretty bride
Nothing could shake
Me from this fate
I closed my eyes and waved it all away
My hands are shaking
Gold fever's taken
The joy I might have known
My heart is racing
I am forsaken
No love to call my own
