Treasures Of Gold Lyrics - Damien Jurado

He came from the nearby town 

And showed up at your door 

Says, "I'm here to take good care of you 

And your children four." 

He stayed with you all day and night 

And took you as his wife 

He showered you with gifts of gold 

And loved you with his life 

I've got treasures of gold 

And then one day the soldiers came 

And said there was a war 

He grabbed his gun and turned to kiss 

The family he adored 

The woman said her last goodbye 

While falling to the floor 

She took all his photographs 

And hung them on the door 

I've got treasures of gold
