Superstition’s Mine

[Verse 1]
There's been many a lone companion
Lost out in the canyon
Chasin' the old bearded Dutchman's tail
In the Superstition Mountains
With their hidden golden fountains
Many men have died upon her trail
For the lure of gold
Has a mighty heavy hold
For a man with a fever in his spine

[Chorus]
But I'd rather be lost in love, oh yeah
I'd rather be lost in tradition
I'd rather see the sun rise
In the waking of your eyes
Than to be lost in Superstition's Mine

[Verse 2]
For every step that's taken
And every stone that's shaken
The rattlesnake is watching from below
And for every hour sleepin'
The wolf is slowly creepin'
There's a ghost of the painted Navajo
For a glitter and an eye
Can cause an honest man to lie
Seduction of the gold runs deep and fine

[Chorus]
But I'd rather be lost in love, oh yeah
I'd rather be lost in tradition
I'd rather see the sun rise
In the waking of your eyes
Than to be lost in Superstition's Mine

[Verse 3]
With a hidden sense of duty
A hypnotic sense of beauty
The superstitions lie awake in need
For many a passing stranger
Who's dared to duel with danger
A body has been left alone to bleed
For hungry and cold
Forsake all for the gold
Not knowin' when or where to draw the line

[Chorus]
But I'd rather be lost in love, oh yeah
I'd rather be lost in tradition
I'd rather see the sun rise
In the waking of your eyes
Than to be lost in Superstition's Mine

I'd rather see the sun rise
In the waking of your eyes
Than to be lost in Superstition's Mine
