Gold Can Turn to Sand (from "Kristina")

When I left I was leaving with a brother

Him and me all we had was one and other

We were young it was springtime
And our dreams of gold were grand
Oh kristina gold can turn to sand

Down that long blazing trail
I walked beside him

He grew weak and he leaned on me to guide him

Though I doubted our future in that godforsaken land
Oh kristina gold can turn to sand

Still he shared in my dream

No matter how mad

He believed in me

I was all that he had

And I was glad of his company

In the desert beyond the burning prairie

We got lost we were foolish and unwary

Just how thirsty how desperate
You would never understand
Oh kristina gold can turn to sand

Still I willed him along
I taught him the song of the ocean wave

He who shared in my quest

Now laid to rest
In a lonely grave

From a well that was poisoned he drank water

And he died where he fell a beast to slaughter

As his eyes slowly faded
The old watch fell from his hand
Oh kristina gold can turn to sand

Oh kristina gold can turn to sand
