Treasures Of Gold – Damien Jurado – letras

He came from the nearby townAnd showed up at your doorSays, « I’m here to take good care of youand your children four. »He stayed with you all day and nightAnd took you as his wifeHe showered you with gifts of goldAnd loved you with his lifeI’ve got treasures of goldAnd then one day the soldiers cameAnd said there was a warHe grabbed his gun and turned to kissThe family he adoredThe woman said her last goodbyeWhile falling to the floorShe took all his photographsAnd hung them on the doorI’ve got treasures of gold
