9. Fool’s Gold

If the whole world cannot buy one single Spring day

To what end do we seek yellow gold?

The world has sold its soul for Fool’s Gold

But lasting joy cannot be bought or sold

If you look around the best treasures to be found

are blue like the sky and the sea

Big holes in the ground really bring me down

they empty out the heart of our land

I didn’t realise that I played in paradise

With gum trees that seemed to touch the sky

The trees, they’re all gone …

It didn’t seem that long ago

That I was a child, barefoot and wild

If the whole world cannot buy one single Spring day

To what end do we seek yellow gold?

When all is said and done, the best days in the Sun

are the Golden years spent with the ones you love
