Damien Jurado Treasures Of Gold Lyrics

Treasures Of Gold Lyrics

He came from the nearby town

And showed up at your door

Says, "I'm here to take good care of you

And your children four."



He stayed with you all day and night

And took you as his wife

He showered you with gifts of gold

And loved you with his life



I've got treasures of gold



And then one day the soldiers came

And said there was a war

He grabbed his gun and turned to kiss

The family he adored



The woman said her last goodbye

While falling to the floor

She took all his photographs

And hung them on the door



I've got treasures of gold
