David Harris - After The Gold Rush

After the gold rush is over
and you’ve collected your precious store
always keep it close for safekeeping
and remember to guard the door.
There is always someone
who wants whatever you have got,
always beware of strangers
no matter how innocent they look
there will always be one among them
who will want whatever you got.
After the gold rush is over
before you settle into peace and harmony
always beware, my friend
as there will always be one
who wants whatever you have got.

David Harris
