"Chasing Gold" was also on the same collection, 'Now & Then', as "The Truth". It was written in 2001 and is an observation of how people whore and sell themselves out for material comfort and vanity. Is there something you can find in yourself which is worth more than anything worldly? That is the Gold.

I watch them go
Let go of all I know
I watch you come from the distant lights

I've seen his face
A million times before
And I think of a different place to be sure I'm sure

Lay it on lightly
Oh let it go down
I'm tired, I'm lost but I don't wanna be found
They take the money
And I chase the gold
I'm lonely, defeated but I've got my soul

Warm city rain
I can feel it in my veins
The eyes of you like the distant lights

Push and pull me through
Cos there's nothing else to do
Surrounded by fate but I know I must wait

Lay it on lightly
Oh let it go down
I'm tired, I'm lost but I don't wanna be found
They take the money
And I chase the gold
I'm lonely, defeated but I've got my soul

Darkness has me
Not like it used to be
The eyes of you like the distant lights

So I keep my word
Believe in what I feel
If I go down too deep would you come with me?

Lay it on lightly
Oh let it go down
I'm tired, I'm lost but I don't wanna be found
They take the money
And I chase the gold
I'm lonely, defeated but I've got my soul

Lay it on lightly
Oh let it go down
I'm tired, I'm lost but I don't wanna be found
They take the money
And I chase the gold
I'm lonely, defeated so please now
