The Golden Lake

The heart never finds
What it needs today
That’s the reason we’ll go on
'Cause there’s no other place to stay
Father left his house
… that he didn’t leave a trace
He had to go on
To get his heart in a better place
But not today,
Not tonight
He will not find
Who am I to blame
I travelled lonesome ways
But not today
Not tonight
Not tomorrow
He will not find
Your mother left your father
To keep her heart in better shape
She’s willing to work harder
To get you to the golden lake
Your father left your mother
For the adventures that he makes
He’s willing to work harder
To get to the golden lake
