lyrics

Bakery shut down and the baker has long since fled
Word got round that somebody wanted him dead
Woke his wife and kids in the night
Whispered through his hand everybody pack light
Now the whole town's wondering who's gonna bring the bread

Credit can't win you time
And gold's too heavy to hold
Money won't buy back love
When it's gone

The voices in my head have said things no man should know
I've asked them to leave but they scream they got no place to go
So I kill them with smoke and constant noise
Whittle it down to my one true voice
And just hope when it comes, I still recognize the tone

They say silver don't hold to its shine
And a diamond's just dinosaur bones
Money won't buy back love
When it's gone

I don't know but I've heard tell
It's a long, long way to the bottom of the well
It's a long, long way

Woke last night from dreaming I was fifty feet tall
Machine gun fire ripped through me as I scaled a wall
Turned around to look down for you
Bout that time I came back to
Rubbed my eyes and never felt so small

Cause you can build upon God's design
And it's still gonna crumble to stone
Money won't buy back love

No, silver don't hold to its shine
And a diamond's just dinosaur bones
Money won't buy back love
When it's gone
When it's gone
Gone, gone
