With his fool's gold stacked up all around him
|
From a killing in the market on the war
|
The children left King Midas there, as they found him
|
In his counting house where nothing counts but more
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
And he thought he heard the echo of a penny whistle band
|
And the laughter from a distant caravan
|
And the brightly painted line of circus wagons in the sand
|
Fading through the door into summer
|
|
With his travel logs of 'maybe next year' places
|
As a trade-in for a name upon the door
|
And he pays for every year he cannot buy back with his tears
|
As he finds out there's been no one keeping score
|
|
[Chorus]
|
