Goldmine

To meet you again, in the long run I guess Are we prodded like cattle, is it providence? Your smoky apartment, spilling the wine You're laughing and trying, you can't get it right I don't know what you're doing to me I'm calling collect, you're a can on a string It's out of my hands, a planet away One of my own kind When there's a goldmine, you stay My hand to your mouth, the tears in your eyes Predatory Wasp, said the song makes you cry How good can a thing be until it's no longer good?

The shores of Glensheen, a lost cause, the hardwood Well intentioned child, you've done all that you could When there's a grudge against goodness, can't love like I should A ring I gave up, your old lover's prose It goes without saying, and a kiss on the nose I've weighed it all out and I am taking you home I'm saying it now, when there's a goldmine, you know
