Mark Lane - Paid in Gold lyrics

And it seemed so nice To hold the cards and name your price But complication's all it bought Not exactly like you thought And it seemed so grand To hold the future in your hand But now you see what you can't buy Consolation's just a lie You were paid in gold Heaven knows just how you felt To play the hand that you were dealt You never thought you'd have to fold It wasn't worth much, I suppose Everybody knows you chose To be paid in gold Ain't it strange to find All the plans you had in mind Just disappear before your eye Long before the ink could dry? You were paid in gold You broke the golden rule of thumb Now heaven knows what will become Your greatest story left untold It wasn't worth much, I suppose Everybody knows you chose To be paid in gold
