There's a Gold Mine In the Sky
Discovering Dreams: Unearthing a Golden Haven in the Sky
Lyrics
There's a gold mine in the sky far away
There is a metaphorical opportunity or source of great wealth in a distant place.
We will find it, you and I, some sweet day
The speaker expresses confidence in discovering the wealth together with someone else in the future.
There'll be clover just for you down the line
The promise of good fortune, symbolized by "clover," awaits the listener in the future.
Where the skies are always blue, pal of mine
The idealized location of the gold mine is described as a place where the skies are always blue, suggesting eternal happiness.
Take your time, old pal
The speaker encourages the listener to be patient and take their time, addressing them as an old friend.
I know you're going lame
Recognizing the listener's challenges (going lame), but assuring that eventual rewards will be worth the struggle.
But you'll pasture in the stars when we find that place
The promise that, despite current difficulties, the listener will eventually enjoy prosperity represented by "pasturing in the stars."
And we'll sit up there and watch
Anticipation of a future moment when the speaker and the listener will observe the world from their elevated position.
The world go by
Implies a peaceful and detached observation of life from a higher vantage point.
When we find that long lost gold mine in the sky
The ultimate goal is finding a valuable and elusive "gold mine in the sky."
Far away
Reiteration of the distant location of the gold mine.
Far away
Repetition of the idea of discovering the gold mine in the future.
We will find it, you and I, some sweet day
Reiteration of the confidence in finding the wealth together.
And we'll say hello to friends who've said goodbye
Anticipation of reconnecting with friends when the treasure is found, suggesting a joyful reunion.
When we find that long lost gold mine in the sky
Reiteration of the overarching theme of finding the elusive gold mine.
Far away
Reiteration of the confidence in finding the wealth together.
Far away
Repetition of the idea of discovering the gold mine in the future.
We will find it, you and I, some sweet day
Anticipation of reconnecting with people who have bid farewell when the treasure is found.
And we'll say hello to folks who've said goodbye
Reiteration of the overarching theme of finding the elusive gold mine.
When we find that long lost gold mine in the sky
Anticipation of a joyful reunion with those who have said goodbye when the treasure is discovered.
