After the Gold Rush Lyrics


Well, I dreamed I saw the knights in armor coming
Saying something about a queen
There were peasants singing and
Drummers drumming, the archer split the tree
There was a fanfare blowing to the sun
That was floating on the breezeLook at mother nature on the run
In the nineteen seventies
Look at mother nature on the run
In the nineteen seventiesI was lying in a burned out basement
With the full moon in my eyes
Hoping for replacement
When the sun burst through the sky
There was a band playing in my head
And I felt like getting highThinking about what a friend had said
And hoping it was a lie
Thinking about what a friend had said
I was hoping it was a lieWell, I dreamed I saw the silver
Space ships flying in the yellow haze of the sun

There were children crying and colors flying
All around the chosen onesAll in a dream, all in a dream the loading had begun
They were flying mother nature's
Silver seed to a new home in the sun
Flying mother nature's silver seed to a new home
Flying mother nature's silver seed to a new home

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Natalie Anne O'Shea Merchant (born October 26, 1963 in Jamestown, New York, U.S.) is a professional musician. She co-founded and fronted the band 10,000 Maniacs in 1981. Later, she went to college and then left the band in 1993 and started a successful solo career. Merchant plays the piano, produces and writes many of her songs.

Her debut solo album Tigerlily (1995) had three top-40 singles: 'Carnival', 'Jealousy' and 'Wonder'. This was followed in 1998 with her second solo album Ophelia, her third in 2001 with Motherland, and fourth in 2003 called 'The House Carpenter's Daughter'.

Merchant has sung alongside Tracy Chapman, Michael Stipe, David Byrne and Peter Gabriel. She has also collaborated with Billy Bragg a number of times, including the 1998 album Mermaid Avenue. Like Bragg, her work touches on social and political themes; she has been active in promoting a number of campaigning issues in both her songs and through the causes to which she lends her name.
