I was watching The Gold Rush Sitting in a restaurant There was no place to go to where I could stay I was walking the street in 95 degree heat In the middle of summer snow seemed so far away It wasn't a fight Not in a normal way Not a blow was thrown by either you or me There was a smile on your face as I was leaving that day And all you had stolen was somebody's dignity As I'm lying here beaten and broken A little light shining I can see Through the poison of the words you've spoken I appreciate your honesty I appreciate your honesty I didn't know you so well Or how you played the saxophone But I tried hard to stay out of your way I couldn't be so polite As to be wielding a knife Made up of words that I was afraid to say As I'm lying here beaten and broken A little light shining I can see Through the poison of the words you've spoken I appreciate your honesty I appreciate your honesty Only a fool you say Could hold a grudge for long Let bygones be bygones you've always said And when I come back you won't mind seeing me Just to bury the hatchet In the back of my head As I'm lying here beaten and broken A little light shining I can see Through the poison of the words you've spoken I appreciate your honesty I appreciate your honesty I was watching the Gold Rush Go by
