[Gold]
I like what I got
I know who I am and who I'm not
No more yearning for what cannot be
I just look and see
The gold that lies around me
Now don't get me wrong
There was a time I'd never write this song
Though the words were lying deep inside of me
I just couldn't see
The way to find a melody
Sometimes the river water pulls me in too deep
But sinking to the bed can wake me from my sleep
To the gold that lies around me
Well I opened my eyes
Held out my hands and took the prize
Of a life for the taking laid in front of me
I began to see
That love's the simplest alchemy
[Gold]
No more yearning for what cannot be
I just look and see
The gold that lies around me
Sometimes the river water pulls me in too deep
But sinking to the bed can wake me from my sleep
To the gold that lies around me
To the gold that lies around me x 4
