Fool's Gold

Fool's Gold

Hey, can't you show me something I've not seen before?
Magic tricks and pirate ships, they just don't work no more
I've given up on treasure chests that wash up on the shore
'Cause fool's gold never seems to keep its shine

Hey, can't you give me something I can hold in my hands?
I'm sick of gold rush promises and empty suitcase plans
I won't go back to treasure maps and digging in the sand
For I always seem to lose whatever I find
Yeah, I always seem to leave it all behind

Hey
Give me golden afternoons in May
Give me silver Moons that light my way
And I won't ask for fool's gold anymore

Hey, can't you make me feel like I haven't felt for years?
Let me laugh like I did when I was a kid, till I burst into tears
Let me count the diamond stars and drink the water crystal clear
And I'll be richer than any man that lives with fear

Singing: Hey
Give me golden afternoons in May
Give me silver Moons that light my way
And I won't ask for fool's gold anymore

Hah, hah, ah
Hah, hah, ah
Hah, hah, ah
Hah, ah

Singing: Hey
Give me golden afternoons in May
Give me silver Moons that light my way
And I won't ask for fool's gold anymore

No, I won't ask for fool's gold anymore
Oh, I won't ask for fool's gold anymore
