Leave gold in the ground
Cherish what comes around
Leave gold in the ground
Cherish what comes around
Visions of gloom burn through his mind
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah
There's no turning back the tide
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah
The body worshipped is gone
Days are long, yeah
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah
Dress cut to night wear, babe
Is the smell of fear, yeah
Leave gold in the ground
Cherish what comes around
Who's next to die drowned on the shore?
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah
And when did a port get safer than home?
Mm, mm, mm
'Cause no one wants to leave home
No, no one wants to leave home
Deep down, even a child knows that every port could
Leave gold in the ground
Cherish what comes around
There would be no water
There would be no water
Mm
