I've been walking the streets of this city
I've been searching for its heart of gold
I've been looking for some signs of some loving
But all I'm feeling is cold
And the wind blows hard and the rain falls down
The snow covers up my tracks
The shoulders of the people are cold
I feel like heading back

And I can't find love in this town
No I can't find love in this town
I can't find love, no I can't find love
I can't find love in this town

I came here seeking my fortune
Searching for that pot of gold
Looking for love at the end of the rainbow
But all I'm still feeling cold
I played my tunes to an empty room
I sang my bar room songs
I tried real hard to find someone to love
Now I'm moving on

I drank my way through the bottle
Searching for someone to hold
I stared at myself in the mirror
And all I'm still feeling cold
I walked away to the city gate
I found myself alone
I walked away, I never looked back
So now I'm going home

I made my way through the story
But I see only 'Love on the Dole'
I feel no sense of pride in the city
And I'm just feeling cold
It's a soulless place without any love
With a heart that's made of stone
And now the stone has been rejected
So I'm going home
