Seth Lakeman - Green And Gold lyrics

I heard a loud knock upon my door A sweet stranger she entered in The night was dark, the wind it roared Beauty she did bring Greed and gold Greed and gold Forever the loneliest road Welcome fine lady, won't you stay this night? For fortunes may unfold I see precious j**els you keep so tight Like a sweet child out from the cold Greed and gold Greed and gold Forever the loneliest road A silent room in the dead of night Two lovers lay there entwined From a deep sleep to her bed I creep Great treasures there I find The midnight moon all across her face It steals her out from a dream The mirror smashed, sharp silver flashed Broken beauty she did scream, crying: Greed and gold Greed and gold Forever the loneliest road Greed and gold Greed and gold Forever the loneliest road Early in the morn you will find me gone I'll seek a dark distant shore I'll walk in fear but always hear Her knocking at my front door She's crying: Greed and gold Greed and gold Forever the loneliest road Greed and gold Greed and gold Forever the loneliest road
