about

Voyage on the stormy sea of life.

lyrics

Try in vain to find terrain and regain a sense of control
As the sea does rage and the waves they roll
The ship has sprung a leak the hull it creaks as in the water flows
From bow to stern at every turn as you keep filling holes

You can take your silver and you take your gold
You can trade it in for things to try and fill in all the holes
No matter how you try you'll never be able to buy something to satisfy your soul
It cannot be bought 'cause it ain't ever sold


Bit by bit the plot it shifts every time the story's told
The theme remains unchanged as the fabric it unfolds
To unveil a tale that's as fair as any maiden from the legends and myths of old
That make one long for home where they're loved and where they're known

You can take your silver and you take your gold
You can trade it in for things to try and fill in all the holes
No matter how you try you'll never be able to buy something to satisfy your soul
It cannot be bought 'cause it ain't ever sold


Search to find the silver lining in every hardship you're bestowed
Make no mistake all you'll ever know
Is filling in holes dug by what God only knows

You can take your silver and you take your gold
You can trade it in for things to try and fill in all the holes
No matter how you try you'll never be able to buy something to satisfy your soul
And make yourself complete as you have always longed to be
'Cause Love ain't bought or sold
