Treasure in the West Songtext
von Dustin Kensrue

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

At break of day under an opal's 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

Long, I′ve ridden through this desert
Chasing X is on the shifting sands
Somewhere hidden lies that treasure
But I fear, it's slipping through my hands


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

Long, I've ridden through this desert
Chasing X is on the shifting sands
Somewhere hidden lies that treasure
But I fear, it′s slipping through my hands

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

Long, I′ve ridden through this desert
Chasing X is on the shifting sands
Somewhere hidden lies that treasure
But I fear, it's slipping through my hands
