The Power Of Gold

Dan Fogelberg & Eric Weisberg

The story is told of the

Power of gold and it's

Lure on the unsuspecting

It glitters and shines

It badgers and binds

And constantly needs protecting

Balance the cost of the soul you lost

Without dreams your life is sold

Are you under the power of gold?



The letters are calls got you

Climbing the walls

And everyone wants a payday

They beg to remind you

Of love left behind you

You know the past is a loser

The face that you're wearing is different now

That the days run hot and cold

Are you under the power of gold?

The power of gold



Ooo-ooo, ahh-ahh, ahh-ahh

Ooo-ooo, ahh-ahh, ahh-ahh, ahh



You're a creature of habit

Caught like a rabbit

Scared of a fear you can't name

You're overly loyal

There's no one before ya

No man that can tell it's a game

Balance the cost of the soul you lost

Without dreams your life is sold

Tell me that you're free

Of the power of gold?

The power of gold



You're never a lonely

And why does it loom?

But there's something about

The soul that deserves you



You're never a lonely

And why does it loom?

But there's something about

The soul that deserves you



You're never a lonely

And why does it loom?

But there's something about

The soul that deserves you
