Lyrics

[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
