Made Of Gold

I'm going down to the river, I'm gonna look for you

I know you'll be waiting there, 'cause it's a woman's trick

I'm gonna give you what you want 'cause you've been asking

And I don't even wanna know your name

But you'll remember mine

You will remember my name

You will remember my name

You will remember my name

Like the nights in the movies, I'll be waiting

And the days in the heat of her vengeance

You'll know what I've wanted, what she wouldn't admit

I'll show her, I'll show the world, just what they asked for

And they'll remember my name

They will remember my name

They will remember my name

They will remember my name

And what you want most will elude you

And what you want most will elude you

'Cause everything before it changes, seems to be made of gold

Made of gold

Made of gold

Made of gold

Made of gold.

In some strange way I'm preparing myself for you

I've been waiting all my life

But I won't give you what you want, I won't fight

I will live, and tell, and you will remember me

You'll remember my name

You will remember my name

You will remember my name

You will remember my name

You'll try to hide me under the mattress with all your other short sins

But I'll come back, the click in my spine will order our lives like a metronome

You can't shut it off

You can't shut it off

You can't shut it off

You can't shut it off

And what you want most will elude you

And what you want most will elude you

'Cause everything before it changes, seems to be made of gold

Made of gold

Made of gold

Made of gold

Made of gold.

And like the river, you will remember my song

'Cause love is a heartbeat away from here
