The Power Of Gold Lyrics - Singles - Fogelberg Dan

The story is told of the 

Power of gold 

And its lure on the 

unsuspecting 

It glitters and shines 

It badgers and blinds 

And constantly needs protecting. 

Balance the cost of the soul 

you lost 

With the dreams you lightly 

sold 

Are you under 

The power of gold? 

The letters and calls 

Got you climbing the walls 

And everyone wants a favor 

They beg to remind you 

Of times left behind you 

But you know the past is a 

loser. 

The face you're wearing 

is different now 

And the days run hot and cold 

Are you under 

The power of gold? 

You're a creature of habit 

Run like a rabbit 

Scared of a fear you can't name 

You own paranoia 

Is looming before you 

But nobody thinks that 

It's a game. 

Balance the cost of the soul 

you lost 

With the dreams you lightly 

sold 

Then tell me 

That you're free 

Of the power of gold. 

The women are lovely 

The wine is superb 

But there's something 

about the song 

That disturbs you...
