Gold Nuggets

(album: At The Sound Of The Bell - 1976)

If you're looking for a star
Then chances are you won't go far
When you're searching in an awful funny way
And there's a glow from above
Your last chance for love
And it won't be here when morning shows her hand
It's a love you've been shown
And a time for being alone
'Cause people like me just keep running back for more

And now Caroline stop crying
It won't seem like a long long time
And I'll be here when the Rockies thaw in spring
I can't bring you 'cause it's just too cold
And while I'm out here digging alone
Well, I'll bring you home gold nuggets in the spring

And now sometimes while I'm out
If you think of things I'm without
Then you won't feel so sorry for yourself
'Cause it's clear when you're near
How things change and then
You'll get hungry for the gold you think I've found

I found, Caroline stop crying
It won't seem like a long long time
And I'll be here when the Rockies thaw in spring
I can't bring you 'cause it's just too cold
While I'm out here digging alone
Well, I'll bring you home gold nuggets in the spring

And when you're looking for a star
Chances are you won't go far
When you're searching in an awful funny way

And now Caroline stop crying
It won't seem like a long long time
And I'll be here when the Rockies thaw in spring
When I bring you home gold nuggets in the spring
