I want to live,
I want to give
I've been a miner
    for a heart of gold.
It's these expressions
    I never give
That keep me searching
    for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old.
Keeps me searching
    for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old.

I've been to Hollywood
I've been to Redwood
I crossed the ocean
    for a heart of gold
I've been in my mind,
    it's such a fine whine
That keeps me searching
    for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old.
Keeps me searching
    for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old.

Keep me searching
   for a heart of gold
You keep me searching
    for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old.
I've been a miner
    for a heart of gold.
