Fool's Gold

Fool's Gold 

Capo 2

One thing I find precious is silence
You don't know how much you need it until it's gone
And the way you live, it boggles the mind
How can you be perfectly fine
With all that noise rushing by

I think something new can be a blessing
A chance to see your world through a new pair of eyes
And I wouldn't have called you a curse
Yeah I have been through so much worse
Than being shown something akin to paradise

Haven't I?
Your smile gleams in the light

But you're not enough to take me away
From everything I know
No fool's gold can lead this shepherd astray
These roots run deep
You're never gonna reach
My heart with your fool's gold

I am not the lamb who follows blindly
I choose where I stand and what I reach for
And if your glow was bright as a flame
And if you saw my moth-colored wings
Well make no mistake, I knew the score

Didn't I?
Your smile gleams in my mind

But that wasn't enough to keep me away
Falling for it all
Though fool's gold only makes you rich for a day
It wasn't worth the fight
But god it shone bright
All of your fool's gold

And that one last time when we locked eyes
You could hear what I was shouting in my mind
That for just one chance I'd wreck my life
You turned away, and I hated you, but you were right

You're not enough to take me away
From everything I know
No fool's gold is worth going astray
These roots run deep
You're never gonna reach
These roots run deep
You're never gonna reach
My soul
With your fool's gold
With your fool's gold
