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 chest that wash up on the shore
'Cause fool's gold never seems to keep its shine
Hey, can't you give me something
I could hold in my hands?
I'm sick of gold rush promises
And empty suitcase plans
I won't go back to treasure map sign digging in the sand
For I always seems 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 diamonds stars and
Drink the water crystal clear
Then I'll be richer than any man
That lives with fear
Singin': 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
I won't ask for fool's gold anymore
I won't ask for fool's gold anymore
