Lyrics
solid earth and gold
There was an appaloosa running down the tire tracks in the woods
and her hair it flowed like ribbons that wrapped him where he stood
and he couldn?t believe he found her being just a passer by
but for just one minute in those gentle arms he would chance to live a lie
B: he?d heard about the tale of the lady like the wind
R: You are the color of layered stone
your stories remind me of my native home
your eyes hide like diamond mines
you are solid earth, gold inside
He wanted to hold her steady, she was always on the run
just like that day on her mighty stead when he saw her in the setting sun
and in her forest cabin, he never felt at ease
she was keeping him at a distance but still giving him memories
soft like beds of clover, violent like a storm
R: You are the color of layered stone
your stories remind me of my native home
your eyes hide like diamond mines
you are solid earth, gold inside
You can lead a horse to water but you cannot make her taste
was he better to have known her or was the journey just a waste
he gave her something deeper to hold on to in a dream
a woman is so much more than what she ever seems
R: You are the color of layered stone
your stories remind me of my native home
your eyes hide like diamond mines
you are solid earth, gold inside
solid gold, earth inside
