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
