Cold River Gold

[Verse 1] He came back from far away… Where along the rocky shore… A cold river used to run… A cold river used to run… “Look at me…” — his eyes would say… “I’ve seen so much gold… More than you’ve ever known…” [Verse 2] Poor, broken, crazy man… He’s seen so much gold… More than I could understand… Now his eyes gone blind… From that shining light… Like the sun on a drifting stream… On a cold, cold river line… [Chorus] Down in that cold, clear river… Down where the shadows flow… There’s gold lying in the deep… More than you’ll ever know… [Verse 3] Some nuggets big… some small… Lyin’ deep down below… His words felt like a dream… A child’s dream made of gold… The kind you find… Just to lose… Day and night… Thinkin’ ‘bout that same old road… [Bridge] “Look at my hands…” — he cried… “They once held a stone… Big as a burnin’ brick…” Could’ve worn a ring… Could’ve lived like a king… Now they’re covered in sores… And dirt that just won’t quit… [Chorus] Down in that cold, clear river… That took his soul away… Left it in the water… And carried his life astray… [Outro] Tell me now… who is he… Oh Lord… who can it be… The one who left his soul… In that cold, clear river stream… Author: Artem Prykhodko Original Lyrics With AI tools
