Tell me what you see, when you look at me All words unspoken Tell me how you feel, now we have to deal With dreams being broken Younger days, forever in our arms Living on the poor side, the poor side of town You need more than just my heart and soul But you won't drink the water from a river of gold I finally realize, your restless eyes, they tell it all No more future skies, no more ignoring the writing on the wall Summer days, when love was enough Oh, and now the jazz of life's been rolled And your going will not be reversed But you won't quench your thirst at the river of gold One night you wake up, no arms to hold There'll be no moon swimming in a river of gold A river of gold A river of gold A river of gold A river of gold
