Lyrics

The river ran cold through the valley of stone
Where echoes of whispers are carved in the bone
I held in my hand a glimmering hue
Not knowing the weight of a lie turned true
Fool's gold
Fool's gold
It gleams just the same
But it won't keep you warm by the fire you claim
It catches the eye
But it won't catch the soul
A heart's heavy price for that fool's gold
I gave up the farm
And I gave up the plow
I followed the shimmer
It's long gone now
Each promise it made was an echo in vain
It took all my years
Left me chasing the rain
Fool's gold
Fool's gold
It gleams just the same
But it won't keep you warm by the fire you claim
It catches the eye
But it won't catch the soul
A heart's heavy price for that fool's gold
Oh the preacher
He told me"There's gold in your heart
Not down in the dust where the shadows do start"
But I turned my back to the words of the wise
And traded my truth for the devil's disguise
Now here I am standing on a hollowed-out dream
Where the sunlight won't touch and the waters don't gleam
Caught in the glint of that treacherous prize
I see now the truth through these tarnished eyes
