Lyrics
BEGGAR?S GOLD
Praise the winter sun, please tell me where its gone
Hold the memory
And hail the summer rain, please let it come again
Falling tenderly.
And there?s a warm rain falling on me
A cold sun shining on me
And why the day is night and dark is light is plain to see
I feel the threat of peace, a war of love a fit disease
I feel them coming on
And cruel are mercy kills and fools are wise and time is still
Time is moving on
There?s along day crawling by me
A new year flying by me
And every breath I take and move I make is dear to me
A loss of sympathy and time and apathy
Are sure to kill romance
But for a lover lost, another love will cover costs
Take another chance
And the good days give you room to sink low
The bad days let you fly high
Beggar?s gold is buried in the sky
Set your sights high
Today your God is blind,
The world is bleak and you?re inclined
To show your colder side
But life?s a polar flight through latitudes of wrong and right
It?s a roller ride
CHORUS
