Well I sought gold and diamond rings. My own drug to ease the pain that living brings. Walked from the mountain to the valley floor. Searching for my beautiful reward. Searching for my beautiful reward. From a house on a hill a sacred light shines. I walk through these rooms but none of them are mine. Down empty hallways I went from door to door. Searching for my beautiful reward. Searching for my beautiful reward. Well your hair shone in the sun. I was so high I was the lucky one. Then I came crashing down like a drunk on a barroom floor. Searching for my beautiful reward. Searching for my beautiful reward. Tonight I can feel the cold wind at my back. I'm flyin' high over gray fields my feathers long and black. Down along the river's silent edge I soar. Searching for my beautiful reward. Searching for my beautiful reward.
