Lyrics After the Gold Rush - k.d. lang

Well, I dreamed I saw the knights in armor coming
Saying something about a queen
There were peasants singing
And drummers drumming
The archer split the tree
A fanfare blowing
To the sun
That was floating on the breeze
Look at mother nature on the run
In the 1970s
I was lying in a burned out basement
With the full moon in my eyes
I was hoping for replacement
When the sun burst through the sky
There was a band playing in my head
And I felt like getting high
I was thinking about what a friend had said
I was hoping it was a lie
I dreamed I saw a silver space ship flying
In the yellow haze of the sun
There were children crying
And colors flying
All around the chosen ones
All in a dream, all in a dream
The loading had begun
Flying mother nature′s silver seed to a new home in the sun
Flying mother nature's silver seed to a new home
