Fool's Gold Lyrics - Ozark Mountain Daredevils

(GUITAR & KEYBOARDS INTRO) 

I was falling off to sleep 

I was drawn into a dream 

and the lady there would weep 

'till it turned into a stream 

and she let me touch her heart 

and listen to her sing 

and she watched me fall apart 

like a man who would be kiiiiing 

ice cold water, running through her veins 

fool's gold and mirrors, reflecting nothing 

bright lady liar, bitter to the taste 

foolish desire, left no trail to traaaaaace 

(ACOUSTIC GUITAR SOLO) 

so I say her name again 

I know she knows my call 

and I feel the dream begin 

like a shadow on the wall 

she's a shadooooow 

she's a shadaw 

she's a shadaw 

she's a shadaw 

she's a shadaw 

she's a shadaw 

ice cold water, running through her veins 

fool's gold and mirrors, reflecting nothing 

bright lady liar, bitter to the taste 

foolish desire, left no traaaaaaaaaaail to traaace 

ice cold water, running through her veins 

fool's gold and mirrors, reflecting nothing 

bright lady liar, bitter to the taste 

foolish desire, leeeeft noooo traaaaaaaaaaail to traaace
