Goldmine Lyrics

Hold me close, hold me tight
Cause I'm in love with you alright
Lonesome avenue goodbye
Well, I've been taught and I've been told
Just stake a claim and take a hold
Love guarantees a goldmine
I was living a life in black and white
Down the avenue of coloured lights
Came my rendezvous with romance
Well, I thought love was meant to be
A little bit rough on you and me
But now I see that I'm mistaken

Hold me close, hold me tight
Cause I'm in love with you alright
Lonesome avenue goodbye
Well, I've been taught and I've been told
Just stake a claim and take a hold
Love guarantees a goldmine
Well, I told my pa I'm going to hitch my star
Throwing in with my sweetheart
Take a run at being in love in the nineties
'Cause we all heard about modern love
rock 'n' roll and shacking up
I swore I'd never let it get to me

Hold me close, hold me tight
Cause I'm in love with you alright
Lonesome avenue goodbye
Well, I've been taught and I've been told
Just stake a claim and take a hold
Love guarantees a goldmine
I've seen it happen since way back when
Hearts that struggle and break and bend
Turn to stone before it's over
But you and me we draw a different line
Love is here and it's right on time
Just lay your head upon my shoulder

Love guarantees a goldmine
