Beautiful Reward

"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"

"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"

"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 bar room floor
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"
