Hey can't you show me something
I've not seen before?
Magic tricks and pirate ships
They just don't work no more
Given up on treasure chests
That wash upon the shore
Cause fool's gold never seems
To keep its shine

Hey can't you give me something
I can hold in my hands?
I'm sick of gold rush promises
And empty suitcase plans
I won't go back to treasure maps
And digging in the sand
For I always seems to lose
Whatever I find
Yeah I always seem to leave
It all behind

Hey, give me golden afternoons in May
Give me silver moons that light my way
And I won't ask for fool's gold anymore

Hey can't you make me feel
Like I haven't felt for years?
Let me laugh like I did when I was a kid
Til I burst into tears
And count the diamonds stars
And drink the water crystal clear
And I'll be richer than any man
That lives with fear

Singin' hey
Give me golden afternoons in mmay
Give me silver moons that light my way
And I won't ask for fool's gold anymore
I won't ask for fool's gold anymore
I won't ask for fool's gold anymore
