where the streets are paved with gold

from Borders (Cruel Expectation) by James McKean and the Blueberry Moon

about

We've already recorded this song once for Where the River Runs Both Ways, but came up with a nice fresh alternative arrangement. Its one of the most uplifting songs on the record.

At the end there's a snippet of Rocks and Pebbles called As the Hummingbird Hums...

lyrics

where the streets are paved with gold
where the streets are paved with gold
find me
recognise me
let me have something to hold
won't you take me, please take me
where the streets are paved with gold
there's a reason to be born
there's a reason to be born
try me
energise me
you can cover me with scorn
won't you take me, please take me
where the streets are paved with gold
first you're near then you disappear
am I running out of steam?
though in my mind and my thoughts you rise
will I grow too old to dream?
are there stories left untold?
are there stories left untold?
break me
educate me
I don't mean to be so bold
won't you take me, please take me
where the streets are paved with gold
