Angel Island - The Brother Brothers

My paper bride came all the way from China

Golden Gate, San Francisco bay

Spent a lifetime on Angel Island

Waiting for our wedding day

There’s a fortune on the golden mountain

Stake my claim in the fall

I left my bride on the Angel Island

She wrote these words upon the wall

One more lifetime

One more lifetime

One more lifetime

Loving you

Working the goldfields on the High Sierras

The early snow began to fall

Buried treasure for my darling

Under redwood trees so tall

Snowed in all winter on the golden mountain

When I returned in the spring

My bride was gone from the Angel Island

No one knew where, no one knew where

One more lifetime

One more lifetime

One more lifetime

Loving you

Now I live my life like a Chinese painting

Shadows wash against the sky

Empty brushstrokes for my darling

We never said our last goodbye

One more lifetime

One more lifetime

One more lifetime

Loving you
