about

Shining in the dark night
sounds of voices swell

lyrics

Take me to the water and I'll surely find my way
I ain't coming back tomorrow
I ain't coming back today
Up into the Heavens and down into this mold
and I can't fight for nothing but I can't fight for gold

All the things that come to me o're land or o're the sea
let me go and let me follow back to something I believe
Many days have left me wanting more but somehow never show
that I can't fight for nothing but I can't fight for gold

Think of me when I am gone
Think of me today
and don't ever think I think you're wrong to go another way
Some might say to follow but at least I think you know
that I can't fight for nothing but I can't fight for gold

A howling wind above me and a cross around my neck
I may fall into forever as I hope I make it back
It's for all the ones who love me and all the ones who know
that I can't fight for nothing but I can't fight for gold
No I can't fight for nothing but I can't fight for gold
