*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

*Chorus*
