So I led a little white lamb to the slaughter

I still wonder why you followed me

I can’t promise you’ll be safe

I’m told they’re finding gold

In American waters

If I don’t join the rush

Then both of us

Have to live with my mistakes

Nowhere near as free

As we could be

Let me go

My love

We keep saying someday

And that’s hardly enough

Don’t you know

My love?

Eventually rivers run dry

So if I’m gonna die

I’ll die trying

Oh

I don’t wanna live on a prayer for much longer

We need something real to stand on

Wе need something we can hold

How can I follow

Every rainbow?

Lеt me go

My love

We keep saying someday

And that’s hardly enough

Don’t you know

My love?

Eventually rivers run dry

So if I’m gonna die

I’ll die trying

Oh

Oh, my love

Is this what I killed for?

A few handfuls of dust?

Don’t you know

My love?

I’ll wonder as long as I live

If you can forgive me for trying

Oh
