Track 9 from Bear Claw's 2010 release "Refuse This Gift" released on Sickroom Records.

lyrics

FOOL’S GOLD - A fool rushes in, the tide ripping through his hands, he'll never grasp the reason why. He sifts through the dirt hoping to live the easy life, for this he even left his wife. His only prize is gold. Blind hope and open hands left empty in the end. All he hears is, “Stake your claim” repeating over in his head, he's losing hope. “Stake your claim”, those words he’ll curse until the end, he’s losing hope. His only prize is gold. Blind hope and open hands left empty in the end. All he hears is, “Stake your claim”. “Hey everyone, come over here! I’ve struck gold! Come check it out, I think I’ve found it this time! What do you mean this isn’t gold? I could have sworn this was real! I’ve given up everything for this. They say the grass is greener on the other side. What kind of cruel joke is that? I’ve given up everything in search of gold. Tell me, what’s my life worth in weight of gold?”
