Hey can't you show me something
I've not seen before
Magic tricks and pirate ships they
Just work no more
I've given up on treasure chest that on the shop
Cause fools gold never seems to keep its shine
Hey can't you show me something
I can hold in my hands
I'm sick of gold rush promises
And empty suitcase plans
I won't go to treasure map sign digging in the sand
For I always seems to lose whatever I find
Yeah I always seem to leave it all, behind
Give me gold and afternoons in may
Give me shell of a moon just that light my way
And I won't ask for fools gold anymore
Hey can't you make me feel like
I haven't felt for years
Let me laugh like I did when I was a kid
Till I burst into tears
Let me count the diamonds stars and
Drink the water crystal clear
Then I'll be richer than any man
That lives with fear
Singin' hey
Give me gold and afternoons in may
Give me shell of a moon just that light my way
And I won't ask for fools gold anymore
I won't ask for fools gold anymore
I won't ask for fools gold anymore
