Lyrics Dancing in Gold - The von Trapps

Dancing in Gold

The further I hold my heart out
The harder it burns
Even though I could try to protect my soul
By turning my heart to stone
I’m better dead than alone
Love doesn’t make our lives easier at all
It can only make it worth the time
Dancing in Gold
God knows we’re cut out of bone (work hard and evolve?)
You can’t sell your youthful control
Not if you want to grow old
Run and return
Free turn and learn how to burn
You got to fight to keep soul
When you’re dancing in gold
ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah aaaaahhhh
Even though it’s good to be clean as snow
You’d better be dreading karma (?)
When the heads roll
Is it gambling with the precious few important things
While I’m dancing, still I’m trembling
I still have a home
How much would you risk to find the truth
And how far would you go to know it’s through
Dancing in gold
God knows we’re cut out of bone
You can’t sell your youthful control
Not if you want to grow old
Run and return
Free turn and learn how to burn
You got to fight to keep soul
When you’re dancing in gold
