Another Midas Story

My days were empty and I'd folded
My words were void of any style
Begged, broken, cheated, even stolen
Thought I'd jump this train and ride a while

You took my mind and blew it open
I hadn't even planned to stay
I'm left here tired and outspoken
Not knowing just what I should say

Everything that I touch turns to gold
I'm preaching happiness
As my happiness gets old
This house of plenty is all I've known
It confines me though
The way I love this world
It's a shame to ever have to go

It's been too much to get my hands in
Your red wing dreams have worn right through
For me there's no misunderstanding
And I always have believed in you

You took my mind and blew it open
I hadn't even planned to stay
I'm left here tired and outspoken
Not knowing just what to say
