There Is No Greater Gold
Discovering Love's True Worth: 'There Is No Greater Gold' by Isobel Campbell
Lyrics
Love used to be a stranger to me
Love used to be unfamiliar to me
Love was so disappointing
Love was consistently disappointing
I was waiting for a sign
Waiting for a sign to guide me in love
I was looking for some company
Seeking companionship
So I took a walk outside
Took a walk outside
What a lucky day
Fortunate day
I saw the devil waiting for me
Saw the devil waiting with bullets and green paper
He'd bullets and green paper
Symbolic of negative influences or temptations
He'd been walking through the earth
Devil walking through the earth
Swinging to and fro and down in it
Describes devil's movements
As I turned to walk away
Turning away from negative influences
That's when I saw your face
Saw the face of someone special
Love, there is nothing better than this
Love is the ultimate experience
Love, think of all the chances we miss
Reflecting on missed opportunities in love
See the people walking by
Observing people absorbed in technology
With their mobile and computer eyes
Reference to people engrossed in mobile and computer screens
If they'd just afford the time
Encouraging people to make time for meaningful connections
There is no greater gold
Love is the most valuable treasure
Love, I don't think I'll see you again
Expressing doubt about encountering love again
It isn't easy you say we're friends
Stating that maintaining friendship isn't easy
When you opened up your heart
Opening up emotionally
Just enough to make me see again
Revealing enough to bring clarity
When you stopped to take my hand
Significant moment of connection
It was meant this way
Emphasizing that the connection was meant to happen
It was meant this way
Reaffirming the purpose or destiny of the connection
