I have climbed through the mountains, Earths' towers of stone
In search of great power and the glitter of gold
My husband and daughter tucked safely at home
I left in search of great power and gold
I left in search of great power and gold

Now I've come so far, come so far, come so far
Crying tears of amber, tears of gold for my lost love
And I'm one step behind him, every corner I turn
That be the price for a necklace of gold
I pay the price for this necklace of gold

On wings of the falcon from Asgard I soared
To the kingdom of Midgard where man ruled the world
There I searched every valley and village and fjord
I vowed I'd not stop til I'd searched the Nine Worlds
I'd never stopped 'til I'd searched the Nine Worlds

Onward I searched through long days and long nights
By the shine of the sun and the twinkle of starlight
I still couldn't find it, oh, where was my prize?
I accept no defeat, I would not be denied
I accept no defeat, I would not be denied

Now I've come so far, come so far, come so far
Crying tears of amber, tears of gold for my lost love
And I'm one step behind him, every corner I turn
That be the price for a necklace of gold
I pay the price for this necklace of gold

I travelled below to the home of four dwarves
To behold a gold necklace with magic they had forged
What must I do for this power to hold?
To lie with us all is the cost I was told
To lie with us all is the cost I was told

With a chariot team of two cats sleek and strong
I moved through the world in triumphant return
Eager I was for my family and home
To honor my magical necklace of gold
To honor my magical necklace of gold

Now I've come so far, come so far, come so far
Crying tears of amber, tears of gold for my lost love
And I'm one step behind him, every corner I turn
That be the price for a necklace of gold
I pay the price for this necklace of gold

Upon my return my young daughter I found
But my husband, my true love, was nowhere around
Displeased with my quest he had left us alone
Now search and I search to find out here he's gone
I am endlessly searching to find where he's gone

Now I've come so far, come so far, come so far
Crying tears of amber, tears of gold for my lost love
And I'm one step behind him, every corner I turn
That be the price for a necklace of gold
I pay the price for this necklace of gold
