lyrics

The wind's got the dust in a whirl,
choking the life out of our little world.
So I'm heading for Garnet and gold,
filled with gilded dreams of hope.
Your protest has little been heard,
but I don't need to hear you're assuming the worst.
This is how I know to provide.
I'll return, we'll start a new life.

You wait out by the tracks,
though you say I won't come back.

I'm here in this dusty old town.
I've got work to do if there's gold to be found.
These tunnels may be passing their prime,
but I think there's still life in these mines.
The word has spread all around;
there's a fresh crew to take another shot at this ground.
I'm gonna make one final bid,
see what this earth has to give.

You wait out by the tracks,
though you say I won't come back.

This town has sunk into a grave,
filled with dozens of souls waiting to be saved.
So I'm headed home with my life,
though I've lost quite a bit of my pride.
This whole thing was just a mistake.
I should have listened to you.
I should never have changed.
We don't need much to survive;
fortune's not the purpose of life.

You wait out by the tracks,
though you say I won't come back.
