Lyrics
[verse]
I was standing in a garden underneath a silver moon
Watching shadows of the old days fading out too soon
Someone played a trumpet somewhere far across the field
Everything I thought was solid slowly starts to yield
[chorus]
After the gold rush, after the dream
Nothing is quite what it used to seem
After the gold rush, we drift like the snow
Wondering where all the lost years go
[verse]
I saw riders in the distance, silver ships up in the air
Carrying the children somewhere far from here
Mother nature painted pictures on the morning sky
Asking us to wonder, asking us to try
[chorus]
After the gold rush, after the dream
Nothing is quite what it used to seem
After the gold rush, we drift like the snow
Wondering where all the lost years go
[bridge]
Look around you, the century is turning
Embers of a century still burning
Hold the memory soft within your hand
Nothing lasts forever in this land
[chorus]
After the gold rush, after the dream
Nothing is quite what it used to seem
After the gold rush, we drift like the snow
Wondering where all the lost years go
