A silent soul is silver
one of little words is gold
it's hard but I tried even harder
to define and to unfold
but I couldn't come to answers
so I threw the question back
there are three reasons for loving
and a lace to remind around her neck

We travelled through the mountains
saw the valleys down below
we didn't follow anybody's footsteps
we had our own special place to go
we had water from the rockies
loaves of bread coming down from the sky
and three reasons for loving
as a key to the needle's eye

The posses giving persistant chase
aiming to watch us die
we outsmartened them with godgiven strenght
and saw them drown in their own lies
she led me across the Jordan river
to the land that I heard so much about
there are three reasons for loving
she moaned as the lights turned out
