lyrics

On a cold, cold night,
Hear no sound,
Just bright, bright lights.

The desert sands,
The rushing wind
Surging through the land.

The sun will rise,
We'll journey on.
Throw your worries to the skies.

Why cling to what will end so soon?
It's foolish, it's foolish,
Let go of this boon.

I see a mouth within this never ending landscape
With teeth as bright as pearls,
Shout out
Where's the gold?

Seeing rubies and sapphires
Beyond our desires,
Emeralds and diamonds
So much to spend.
The jaws crumble down,
Better get back
And then you hear them say...

Why cling to what will end so soon?
It's foolish, it's foolish
Let go of this boon

Shout out,
Where's the gold?

Why cling to what will end so soon?
It's foolish, it's foolish
Let go of this boon
