At the edge of the night
The heart of the fire
Mm

Right there
From your hall to your bed
Holding on to a thread
Easy
To leave

'Cause you ain't living if you're holding back
A kiss is better when you give it back
It's just the way it is
The way it goes

And if that lonely road leads back home
You better keep on keeping cold
When you found fools' gold

Fools' gold

Hey, Ma
I hope you agree
He constantly leaves us
Right there I wish we were enough
We're competing in love
That's tough

'Cause you ain't living if you're holding back
It gets better when he gets back
It's just the way it is
The way it goes

And one day when you get old
You'll be running down that same road
Just to find fools' gold

When you found fools' gold

At the edge of the night
The heart of the fire
Mm
