Gold Can Turn To Sand
When I left I was leaving with a brotherHim and me, all we had was one and otherWe were young, it was springtimeAnd our dreams of gold were grandOh, Kristina, gold can turn to sand
Down that long, blazing trailI walked beside himHe grew weak, and he leaned on me to guide himThough I doubted our future in that godforsaken landOh, Kristina, gold can turn to sand
Still he shared my dreamNo matter how madHe believed in meI was all that he hadAnd I was glad of his company
In the desert, beyond the burning prairieWe got lost, we were foolish and unwaryJust how thirsty and desperateYou would never understandOh, Kristina, gold can turn to sand
Still I willed him alongI taught him the Song of the Ocean WaveHe, who shared in my quest,Now laid to rest in a lonely grave
From a well that was poisoned he drank waterAnd he died where he fell - a beast to slaughterAs his eyes slowly fadedHis old watch fell from his handOh, Kristina, gold can turn to sandOh, Kristina, gold can turn to sand
