lyrics

Albeit of a Different Kind w&m: bill mallonee c.BMI 2018
Just a solitary man with his solitary pan
And this river may have secrets left untold
She sparkles like a diamond
and washes clean your sins
Today the sun is warm upon my skin

chorus:
I came here for the riches and those weren't hard to find
albeit...of a different kind

It may have been the last time the country was ever great
Year was '49; California was the State
But greed took hold of hearts, till it all went to hell
every promise clogged with a banker's fine print that drags off to jail

Now God, he may speak in the wind or in stars overhead
I have seen the Spirit moves across this riverbed
She cascades just like water you scoop up in your hands
Darlin,' from the time our eyes met i began to understand

Baby, who knew such salvation could come from the flesh?
Your voice is Joy; your Touch a treasure, I could not resist


chorus:
I came here for the riches and those weren't hard to find
albeit...of a different kind
