Ezra:
Something’s happening in the country
And the government’s to blame
We got married in a gold rush
And the rush has never felt the same
Danielle:
Shared a moment in a café
Shared a kiss in pouring rain
We got married in a gold rush
And the sight of gold will always bring me pain
Chorus:
Ezra:
I don’t wanna hear the rumors
Please don’t say it loud
I just wanna go out tonight & make my baby proud
Danielle:
Boy, who’s your baby?
Ezra:
Girl, if you don’t know by now...
There’s two seats on the midnight train
The gold won’t weigh us down
Ezra:
Hanging gardens turned to desert
Danielle:
All that loving turned to hate
Together:
We got married in a gold rush
And those wedding bells were ringing out our fate
Chorus
Bridge
Ezra:
The rush is on to somewhere else
We’re running out of time
Everything was ours
Now it’s just an empty mine
Danielle:
Animals don’t understand
The words on the danger sign
For them, it’s just some shade from the morning shine
Ezra:
I thought you might learn the language
Danielle:
I thought you might learn to sing
Together:
We were born before the gold rush
So why can’t I remember anything?
Ezra:
I want to put things back together
Danielle:
I want to give, I don’t wanna take
Ezra:
Time to disavow the gold rush
And the bitterness that’s flourished in its wake
