Treasure in the West

[Verse]
A legend told of treasure in the west
Lost long ago, soon I became obsessed
Off, did I fly across the platinum dunes?
'Neath onyx sky and ivory mask of moon

[Verse]
At break of day under an opal dawn
I made my way through canyons burnished bronze
I plunged my head in topaz tinted pools
Then on I sped in search of secret jewels

[Chorus]
Long I've ridden through this desert
Chasing x's on the shifting sands
Somewhere hidden lies that treasure
But I fear it's slipping through my hands

[Verse]
Onward I roved, I followеd silver streams
Through emеrald groves and found a sparkling spring
A sapphire, set in golden poppy fields
But no buried chest of riches locked and sealed

[Chorus]
Long I've ridden through this desert
Chasing x's on the shifting sands
Somewhere hidden lies that treasure
But I fear it's slipping through my hands

[Verse]
I met a girl with lips so ruby red
Bright copper curls and sheets of silken thread
She begged me stay with diamonds in her eyes
But I stole away to find my real prize

[Chorus]
Long I've ridden through this desert
Chasing x's on the shifting sands
Somewhere hidden lies that treasure
But I fear it's slipping through my hands
