The Rich Man And The Carpenter Songtext

The Rich Man and the Carpenter Album: New Triumvirat Presents Pompeii A rich man met a carpenter Their minds were world's apart The rich man said 'How do you do Could you frame my golden heart?' 'I don't think I could do that job You better go find a jeweler's store Where they do frame things as such' What do I do Am I left behind I'm not asking for too much Why don't you show me the way I sure would pay you well I've got the money to buy Why does nobody sell? 'You might have lots of money And be blessed with a golden heart But you cannot erase the past And try to get back to the start' 'I don't want to extend my life No more than is my share Though for what there is left to live I do need golden hair Don't you think that's fair? What do I do Am I left behind I'm not asking for too much Why don't you show me the way I sure would pay you well I've got the money to buy Why does nobody sell? Have I reached my sunset time That warming shine will not be waiting Somewhere in the back of mind I know my time is slowly fading An I to analyze my good and bad Or weigh the weight of right and wrong Just when I think about my life I wonder why... The rich man didn't understand That he walked a dead-end street He couldn't find the jeweler's store And his life seemed incomplete Then he finally met a man dressed in glory, gold and fame And if they haven't died by now They'll still look the same While we're singing this refrain What do we do Are we left behind We're not asking for too much Why don't you show us the way We sure would pay you well We've got the money to buy But why does nobody sell? Do we have to go to hell?
