I've scaled the highest mountain
Crossed the big blue sea
Chased that mighty, mighty dollar
Dreamed of the rich man I could be
Little things all around me
Little things I could never see
Like the love you tried to give me
And in the end just threw away
I stood atop that golden tower
Rode upon a silver steed
Piled the riches higher and higher
More then a man would ever need
Little things all around me
Little things I could never see
Like the heart beating inside me
That I just threw away
Like this heart beating inside me
That I just threw away
Those little things all around me
Little things I never learn to see
Like the love you tried to give me
That I went ahead and threw away
Little things all around me
Little things I could never see
Like the heart beating inside me
That I just threw away
Crossed the big blue sea
Chased that mighty, mighty dollar
Dreamed of the rich man I could be
Little things all around me
Little things I could never see
Like the love you tried to give me
And in the end just threw away
I stood atop that golden tower
Rode upon a silver steed
Piled the riches higher and higher
More then a man would ever need
Little things all around me
Little things I could never see
Like the heart beating inside me
That I just threw away
Like this heart beating inside me
That I just threw away
Those little things all around me
Little things I never learn to see
Like the love you tried to give me
That I went ahead and threw away
Little things all around me
Little things I could never see
Like the heart beating inside me
That I just threw away
