If you're looking for a star

Chances are you won't go far

Were you searching in an awful funny way

There's a glow from above

And your last chance for love

And it won't be here when morning

Shows her hand

It's a love you've been shown

And a time for being alone

Cause people like me come running back for more



Now Caroline stop crying

It won't seem like a long long time

And I'll be here when the Rockies thaw in spring

I can't bring you cause it 's just too cold

And while I'm out here digging alone

Well I'll bring you home gold nuggets

In the spring



And now sometimes while I'm out

If you think of things I'm without

Then you won't feel so sorry for yourself

Cause it's clear

When you're near

How things change and then

I'll get hungry for the gold you think I've found
