Can't you show me something I've not seen before

Magic tricks and pirate ships - they just don't work no more.

Given up on treasure chests that wash upon the shore

'cause fool's gold never seems to keep its shine.

Can't you give me something I can hold in my hands

Sick of gold rush promises and empty suitcase plans

I won't go back to treasure maps and digging in the sand

For I always seem to lose whatever I find

Yeah, I always seem to leave it all behind.

Give me golden afternoons in may

Give me silver moons that light my way

And I won't ask for fool's gold anymore.

Can't you make me feel like I haven't felt for years

When we laughed like we did when I was a kid until I burst into tears

And count the diamond stars and drink the water crystal clear

And I'll be richer than any man who lives with fear.

Singing aaaaaay,

Give me golden afternoons in may

Give me silver moons that light my way

I won't ask for fool's gold anymore.

I won't ask for fool's gold anymore.

I won't ask for fool's gold anymore.
