After The Gold Rush

Emmylou Harris

4

Well I dreamed I saw the knights in armor coming saying something about a queen

There were peasants singing and drummers drumming and the archer split the tree

There was a fanfare blowing to the sun that was floating on the breeze

Look at mother nature on the run in the twentieth century

Look at mother nature on the run in the twentieth century

I was lying in a burned out basement with a full moon in my eyes

I was hoping for a replacement when the sun burst through the skies

There was a band playing in my head and I felt like I could cry

Thinking about what a friend had said I was hoping it was a lie

Thinking about what a friend had said I was hoping it was a lie

[ piano ]

Well I dreamed a saw the silver spaceships flying in the yellow have of the sun

The were children crying and colors flying all around the chosen ones

All in a dream all in a dream the loading had begun

Flying mother nature's silver seed to a new home in the sun

Flying mother nature's silver seed to a new home
