"Made Of Gold" Lyrics

I'm going down to the river, I'm gonna look for you
I know you'll be waiting there, 'cause it's a woman's trick
I'm gonna give you what you want, 'cause you've been asking
And I don't even want to know your name
But you'll remember mine
You will remember my name
You will remember my name
You will remember my name, my name
Like the nights in the movies, I'll be waiting
And the days in the heat of her vengeance
You'll know what I've wanted, what she wouldn't admit
I'll show her, I'll show the world, just what they asked for
And they'll remember my name
They will remember my name
They will remember my name
They will remember my name
And what you want most will elude you
What you want most will elude you
'Cause everything, before it changes, seems to be made of gold
Made of gold
Made of gold
Made of gold
In some strange way I'm preparing myself for you
I've been waiting all my life
But I won't give you what you want, I won't fight
I will live, and tell, and you will remember me, you'll remember my name
You will remember my name
You will remember my name
You will remember my name, my name
You'll try to hide me under the mattress, with all your other short sins
But I'll come back, the click in my spine
Will order our lives like a metronome
You can't shut it off
You can't shut it off
You can't shut it off
You can't shut it off
And what you want most will elude you
What you want most will elude you
'Cause everything, before it changes, seems to be made of gold
Made of gold
Made of gold
Made of gold
Made of gold
And like the river, you will remember my song
'Cause love is a heartbeat away from here
