Married in a Gold Rush (feat. Danielle Haim) Lyrics

[00:05.65] Something's happening in the country
[00:09.72] And the government's to blame
[00:14.21] We got married in a gold rush
[00:18.66] And the rush has never felt the same
[00:23.42] Shared a moment in a café
[00:27.97] Shared a kiss in pouring rain
[00:32.22] We got married in a gold rush
[00:36.37] And the sight of gold will always bring me pain
[00:41.88] I don't wanna hear the rumors, please don't say it loud
[00:45.70] I just wanna go out tonight and make my baby proud
[00:50.27] Boy, who's your baby?
[00:52.70] Girl, if you don't know by now
[00:54.54] There's two seats on the midnight train
[00:57.11] The gold won't weigh us down
[01:00.58]
[01:05.31] Hanging gardens turned to desert
[01:08.98] All that loving turned to hate
[01:13.21] We got married in a gold rush
[01:17.46] And those wedding bells were ringing out our fate
[01:22.66] I don't wanna hear the rumours, please don't say it loud
[01:26.76] I just wanna go out tonight and make my baby proud
[01:31.15] Boy, who's your baby?
[01:33.59] Girl, if you don't know by now
[01:35.72] There's two seats on the midnight train
[01:38.13] The gold won't weigh us down
[01:41.64]
[01:50.14] The rush is on to somewhere else, we're running out of time
[01:54.38] Everything was ours, now it's just an empty mine
[01:59.03] Animals don't understand the words on the danger sign
[02:03.31] For them, it's just some shade from the morning shine
[02:09.32] I thought you might learn the language
[02:13.04] I thought you might learn to sing
[02:17.59] We were born before the gold rush
[02:21.78] So why can't I remember anything?
[02:26.85] I want to put things back together
[02:31.10] I wanna give, I don't wanna take
[02:35.73] Time to disavow the gold rush
[02:40.08] And the bitterness that's flourished in its wake
[02:44.87] I don't wanna hear the rumours, please don't say it loud
[02:48.95] Please don't say it loud
[02:49.54] I just wanna go out tonight and make my baby proud
[02:53.56] Boy, who's your baby?
[02:56.14] Girl, if you don't know by now
[02:58.41] There's two seats on the midnight train
[03:00.67] The gold won't weigh us down
[03:03.28] I don't wanna hear the rumours, please don't say it loud
[03:06.51] Please don't say it loud
[03:07.78] I just wanna go out tonight and make my baby proud
[03:11.85] Boy, who's your baby?
[03:14.51] Girl, if you don't know by now
[03:16.34] There's two seats on the midnight train
[03:18.71] The gold won't weigh us down
[03:20.08]
