作曲 : Passenger

Hey, can't you show me something I've not seen before

Magic tricks and pirate ships, they just don't work no more

I've given up on treasure chests that wash up on the shore

Cause fools 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 seem 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 fools 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

Let me count the diamond stars and drink the water crystal clear

And I'll be richer than any man that lives with fear

Singing hey, give me golden afternoons in May

Give me silver moons that light my way

And I won't ask for fools gold anymore

I won't ask for fools gold anymore

I won't ask for fools gold anymore
