Angel Island

1] My paper bride came all the way from China Golden Gate, San Francisco bay Spent a lifetime on Angel Island Waiting for our wedding day There's a fortune on the golden mountain Stake my claim in the fall I left my bride on the Angel Island She wrote these words upon the wall One more lifetime One more lifetime One more lifetime Loving you Working the goldfields on the High Sierras The early snow began to fall Buried treasure for my darling Under redwood trees so tall Snowed in all winter on the golden mountain When I returned in the spring My bride was gone from the Angel Island No one knew where, no one knew where One more lifetime One more lifetime One more lifetime Loving you Now I live my life like a Chinese painting Shadows wash against the sky Empty brushstrokes for my darling We never said our last goodbye One more lifetime One more lifetime One more lifetime Loving you
