Lyrics
Can't you show me something I've not seen before
Expressing a desire for something new and unique.
Magic tricks and pirate ships - they just don't work no more
Traditional symbols of wonder and adventure have lost their charm.
Given up on treasure chests that wash upon the shore
No longer pursuing unrealistic dreams or false promises.
'Cause fool's gold never seems to keep its shine
Cautious about the transient nature of superficial allure.
Can't you give me something I can hold in my hands
Seeking tangible and real experiences over material wealth.
Sick of gold rush promises and empty suitcase plans
Tired of empty assurances and unfulfilled plans for success.
I won't go back to treasure maps and digging in the sand
Rejecting the pursuit of elusive goals and false promises.
For I always seem to lose whatever I find
Highlighting a pattern of losing what is gained in such pursuits.
Yeah, I always seem to leave it all behind
Acknowledging a tendency to abandon acquired success.
Give me golden afternoons in May
Desiring simple and beautiful moments in life.
Give me silver moons that light my way
Yearning for gentle and guiding influences.
And I won't ask for fool's gold anymore
Declaring a refusal to seek deceptive or illusory rewards.
Can't you make me feel like I haven't felt for years
Asking for a return to genuine and profound emotions.
When we laughed like we did when I was a kid until I burst into tears
Recalling a time of unbridled joy and laughter.
And count the diamond stars and drink the water crystal clear
Embracing the beauty of nature and its clear, pure elements.
And I'll be richer than any man who lives with fear
Choosing emotional richness over a life dominated by fear.
Singing aaaaaay
Expressing joy or satisfaction through singing.
Give me golden afternoons in May
Reiterating the desire for serene and blissful moments.
Give me silver moons that light my way
Seeking guidance and inspiration from subtle, calming forces.
I won't ask for fool's gold anymore
A firm decision to abstain from pursuing deceptive riches.
I won't ask for fool's gold anymore
Reaffirming the resolution to avoid pursuing false promises.
I won't ask for fool's gold anymore
Declaring a final rejection of illusory treasures.
