Fools Gold Lyrics - Fiction Family Reunion - Fiction Family

I found a picture of you in black and white 

Looking like Bob Dylan's disciple 

The only thing left is a spark in your eye 

In the ashes of rock and roll 

You used to shine like the Fourth of July 

Looking like a midnight revival 

To see you now is to watch a man die 

In the ashes of rock and roll 

You're shining like fool's gold 

Shining like fool's gold 

You're out digging for what's left of our souls 

In the ashes of rock and roll 

I remember when your love was full force 

You held her hand like it was a Bible 

And just last night I found out about your divorce 

In the ashes of rock and roll 

You used to run like a river in a flood 

Out chopping down all your idols 

Now there's a cynic, dripping in your blood 

In the ashes of rock and roll 

You're shining like fool's gold 

Shining like fool's gold 

You're out digging for what's left of our souls 

In the ashes of rock and roll 

I watched them come and go 

I watched them taking their toll 

Maybe rock 'n' roll never dies 

But it sure gets old 

Yeah it sure gets old 

You swore to me that we'd always be close 

Singing Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah 

Now you're casting lots for my old man's clothes 

In the ashes of rock and roll 

You're shining like fool's gold 

Shining like fool's gold 

You're out digging for what's left of our souls 

In the ashes of rock and roll 

Shining like fool's gold 

Yeah you're shining like fool's gold 

You're out digging for what's left of our souls 

In the ashes of rock and roll
