Well I sought gold and diamond rings   My own drug to ease the pain that living brings   Walked from the mountain to the valley floor   Searching for my beautiful reward   Searching for my beautiful reward      From a house on a hill a sacred light shines   I walk through these rooms but none of them are mine   Down empty hallways I went from door to door   Searching for my beautiful reward   Searching for my beautiful reward      Well your hair shone in the sun   I was so high I was the lucky one   Then I came crashing down like a drunk on a barroom floor   Searching for my beautiful reward   Searching for my beautiful reward      Tonight I can feel the cold wind at my back   I'm flyin' high over gray fields my feathers long and black   Down along the river's silent edge I soar   Searching for my beautiful reward   Searching for my beautiful reward
