I could build me a mansion
High on a hill
And fill it with treasures untold
I could buy hell from the devil
with these heartaches I hold
If blue tears were silver
and memories were gold
If loneliness were a mountain
I'd have the world at my feet
And if life without her were heaven
I'd be walkin'on golden streets
I could build me a mansion
High on a hill
And fill it with treasures untold
I could buy hell from the devil
with these heartaches I hold
If blue tears were silver
and memories were gold
If cryin' could help me feel better
Then I wouldn't feel any pain
And if sadness made a man stronger
I'd have the strength to bare the blame
I could build me a mansion
High on a hill
And fill it with treasures untold
I could buy hell from the devil
with these heartaches I hold
If blue tears were silver
and memories were gold
If these blue tears were silver
and memories were gold
