MOUNTAIN OF GOLD

I'm in the mood
for a mountain of gold I'm in the mood
for the world to behold
me and my mountain of gold

I went out last night
I saw people I know I went out last night
'cause I had somewhere to go

it wasn't my year
for luck or for love all that I let in near
I then had to get out of

it's fine by me
you can have the spare room it's alright by me
if someone's staying with you

you don't have to include
everything you've been told I'm in the mood
for a mountain of gold

they got good looking faces
very approachable too good conversationalists
they're good at all that they do

there's snow on the ground
there's snow on the breeze there's snow all around
there's snow in the trees

a couple nights back
it took all I had not to call a couple nights back
I wasn't breathing at all

it takes a good attitude
and a degree of control I'm in the mood
for a mountain of gold

I turned out okay
somehow I made do I took time out today
I made one special for you

it just feels right
feels just like it should catches the natural light
matches the grade of the wood

don't go get in the way
way of a good man's love don't go get in the way
way of a boxing glove

she came out in the nude
to let me in from the cold I'm in the mood
for a mountain of gold

they're different textures
therefore the difference in price it'll all be different next year
I'll give you different advice

strike up the band
the crowd will be stepping loosen your hand
make it a weapon

I let you in on a secret
I let you play for my team I let you in on a secret
I let you in on a dream

somebody who'd
keep you from growing old I'm in the mood
for a mountain of gold
