Angel Island

My paper bride came all the way from China
Golden Gate, San Francisco bay
Spent a lifetime on Angel Island
Waiting for our wedding day
There's a fortune on the golden mountain
Stake my claim in the fall
I left my bride on the Angel Island
She wrote these words upon the wall
One more lifetime
One more lifetime
One more lifetime
Loving you
Working the goldfields on the High Sierras
The early snow began to fall
Buried treasure for my darling
Under redwood trees so tall
Snowed in all winter on the golden mountain
When I returned in the spring
My bride was gone from the Angel Island
No one knew where, no one knew where
One more lifetime
One more lifetime
One more lifetime
Loving you
Now I live my life like a Chinese painting
Shadows wash against the sky
Empty brushstrokes for my darling
We never said our last goodbye
One more lifetime
One more lifetime
One more lifetime
Loving you
