    Smile Help!

    I've been trying to find this song that I heard once upon a time and can vaguely remember what the lyrics may have been. It was probably written around the 60's or early 70's but I may be totally wrong. It always reminded me of One Tin Soldier. Anyway, it was something about riders or knights or something going to a place where "the streets were paved in gold". It's something like that. I wish I had more information, but maybe one of you will read this and be like "Oh yea! That one!". Thanks a million for your help all!

    peace

    "After the Gold Rush" by Neil Young ??

    Well, I dreamed I saw the knights
    In armor coming,
    Saying something about a queen.
    There were peasants singing and
    Drummers drumming
    And the archer split the tree.
    There was a fanfare blowing
    To the sun
    That was floating on the breeze.
    Look at Mother Nature on the run
    In the nineteen seventies.

    I was lying in a burned out basement
    With the full moon in my eyes.
    I was hoping for replacement
    When the sun burst thru the sky.
    There was a band playing in my head
    And I felt like getting high.
    I was thinking about what a
    Friend had said
    I was hoping it was a lie.

    Well, I dreamed I saw the silver
    Space ships flying
    In the yellow haze of the sun,
    There were children crying
    And colors flying
    All around the chosen ones.
    All in a dream, all in a dream
    The loading had begun.
    They were flying Mother Nature's
    Silver seed to a new home in the sun.
    Flying Mother Nature's
    Silver seed to a new home.

    I cannot imagine it is this, as it so clearly is from the early 90's, but perhaps the inclusion of Johnny Cash's vocal confused you. (or should that be me???)

    U2 feat Johnny Cash - The Wanderer

    I went out wandering
    through streets paved with gold
    lifted some stone saw the skin and bones
    of a city without a soul
    I went out wandering
    under an atomic sky
    where the ground won't turn
    and the rain it burns
    like the tears when I said goodbye

    Yeah I left with nothing
    nothing but the thought of you
    I went wandering

    I went drifting
    through the capitals of tin
    where men can't walk or freely talk
    and sons turn their fathers in
    Yeah I went out walking
    down that old Lake Lane
    I passed by a thousand signs
    Just a looking for my own name

    Yeah I left with nothing
    nothing but the thought of you
    I went wandering

    Yeah I went out there in search of experience
    to tast and to touch and to feel as much
    as a man can before he repents

    I went walking
    looking for one good man
    a spirit who would not bend or break
    who would stand at his father's right hand
    I went out walking with a Bible and a gun
    the word of God lay heavy on my heart
    I was sure I was the one
    Now Jesus don't you wait up
    Jesus I'll be home soon
    Yeah I went out for the paper
    Told her I'd be back by noon

    Yeah I left with nothing
    Nothing but the thought of you
    I went wandering

    Yeah I left with nothing
    But the thought you'd be there too
    I went wandering


    Hope that helps. Here is a link to listen too.
