Damien Jurado - Treasures Of Gold lyrics

He came from the nearby town And showed up at your door Says, "I'm here to take good care of you And your children four." He stayed with you all day and night And took you as his wife He showered you with gifts of gold And loved you with his life I've got treasures of gold And then one day the soldiers came And said there was a war He grabbed his gun and turned to kiss The family he adored The woman said her last goodbye While falling to the floor She took all his photographs And hung them on the door I've got treasures of gold I've got treasures of gold I've got treasures of gold I've got treasures of gold Treasures of gold Treasures of gold
