Greed And Gold - Seth Lakeman

I heard a loud knock upon my door

A sweet stranger she entered in

The night was dark, the wind it roared

Beauty she did bring

Greed and gold

Greed and gold

Forever the loneliest road

Welcome fine lady, won’t you stay this night?

For fortunes may unfold

I see precious jewels you keep so tight

Like a sweet child out from the cold

Greed and gold

Greed and gold

Forever the loneliest road

A silent room in the dead of night

Two lovers lay there entwined

From a deep sleep to her bed I creep

Great treasures there I find

The midnight moon all across her face

It steals her out from a dream

The mirror smashed, sharp silver flashed

Broken beauty she did scream, crying:

Greed and gold

Greed and gold

Forever the loneliest road

Greed and gold

Greed and gold

Forever the loneliest road

Early in the morn you will find me gone

I’ll seek a dark distant shore

I’ll walk in fear but always hear

Her knocking at my front door

She’s crying:

Greed and gold

Greed and gold

Forever the loneliest road

Greed and gold

Greed and gold

Forever the loneliest road
