Fool’s Gold Lyrics by Jack River

Sugar Mountain (Deluxe)

2017

[Verse 1]
You don't like rollercoasters
How could you ever love a girl like me?
I took you to the end of my street
So you could see my bones were cut with a promise to you
Our stars came in a packet of two

[Pre-Chorus]
She's walking up to you
She's dying to be by your side
She's walking up to you
She's dying to be by your side

[Chorus]
Fool's gold, shining in the night, so easy on the eyes
Fool's gold, how many times do I have to realise?
Fool's gold, so bright, fooling everyone in sight
Fool's gold, how many times do I have to realise?

[Verse 2]
I won't bend to you, no – I don't know how to
Can you handle a girl like her?
She is bolder than you think
Can you love a girl like me
While she is running through your dreams?
Dragged through the midnight, and it reignites

[Pre-Chorus]
She's walking up to you
She's dying to be by your side
She's walking up to you
She's dying to be by your side

[Chorus]
Fool's gold, shining in the night, so easy on the eyes
Fool's gold, how many times do I have to realise?
Fool's gold, so bright, fooling everyone in sight
Fool's gold, how many times do I have to realise?

[Instrumental Break]

[Pre-Chorus]
She's walking up to you
She's dying to be by your side

[Chorus]
Fool's gold, shining in the night, so easy on the eyes
Fool's gold, how many times do I have to realise?
Fool's gold, so bright, fooling everyone in sight
Fool's gold, how many times do I have to realise?
Fool's gold, shining in the night, so easy on the eyes
Fool's gold, how many times do I have to realise?
Fool's gold, so bright, fooling everyone in sight
Fool's gold, how many times do I have to realise?
