Greed And Gold Lyrics - Poor Man's Heaven - Seth Lakeman

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 jewels 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
