All That Glitters

M.L. Kortes

 

Another Monday morning
Bottle cap shining on the floor
It looked more like a diamond the midnight before
And one more man becomes a boy
The moment you lift the blinds
You still can’t trick the truth
Sweet old friend of mine

All that glitters is not gold
All that glitters is not gold
No matter how the story's told
This much I know is true
The moral’s lost on you

The western coast it called you
Like a shimmery new day dream
You took the train to Reno
To blow off some steam

A millionaire, an empty stare
You’re in for another game
You’re bettin' on your chances
But I bet he ain’t

CHORUS

Hitched a ride on the side of the road
Rainbows and promises, they glowed
Yea I was reading in this book of poetry                      
How you can always spot true love from a distance
But what if you’re nearsighted?   		 Yea I saw John on the street the other day        
He tripped over her  feet
He said “Excuse me”
She said “What are you talkin about now?”
 

Good luck and such
I care too much
I’ll be on my merry way
I hope that light that blinds you
Will be real one day

All that glitters is not gold
All that glitters is not gold
No matter how the story’s told
The moral’s lost on you

All that glitters is not gold.....
