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
