A little band of gold to prove that you're my wife
A little band of gold to prove that you're mine
All that's left is a man of gold.
All that's left is a band of gold.
All that's left is a van of gold.
All that's left is a band of gold.
I wait at night
In the darkness of my lonely room
It's filled with sand and it's filled with glue
I wait at night
In the darkness of my lonely room
Filled with sadness, filled with gloom
Search up and gone
All that's left is a band of gold.
Since you've been gone
All I have left is a band of gold.
Some say the way to have a dream
Some sail away to Araby
We kissed after sacred vows.
We kissed after taking vows.
All that's left is a Jericho
All that's left is a band of gold
All that's left is a Vanagon
All that's left is a band of gold
The Vanagon was the name of the Volkswagen T3 van sold in the US.
All that's left is a baby girl
All that's left is a band of gold
All that's left is a bag of dope
All that's left is a band of gold
All that's left is a band of cold
All that's left is a band of gold
All that's left is a cantaloupe
All that's left is a band of gold
All that's left is abandoned gold
All that's left is a band of gold
And I dream of what love could be
And the dream of what love could be
And the dreamer, what love could be
And the dream of what love could be
Back through that door
And love me like a trapeze boar.
Back through that door
And love me like you tried before.
Don't you know that I wait
In the darkness of my golden room
Filled with sand and it's filled with glue
Hoping soon
That U-Haul back through that door
And love me like a child before
Don't you know that I wait
In the darkness of my lonely room
Filled with sadness, filled with gloom
Hoping soon
That you'll walk back through that door
And love me like you tried before
Since you've been gone
All I have left is Abednego
Since you've been gone
All I have left is a band of gold.
That you'll walk back through that door
And drug me like you tried before
That you'll walk back through that door
And love me like you tried before
You took me from the shelter of a lover
I had never known, or loved any other.
You took me from the shelter of my mother,
I had never known or loved any other.
You took me from the shelter of a mother
I had never known. Who loved any other?
You took me from the shelter of my mother
I had never known or loved any other.
