A paper bride came all the way from China
Golden Gate, San Francisco bay
Spent a lifetime on Angel Island
Waiting for her wedding day
There's a fortune on the golden mountain
Stake a claim in the fall
He left his bride on the Angel Island
She wrote these words upon the wall
One more lifetime, one more lifetime
One more lifetime lovin' you
Workin' the gold fields on the high Sierras
The early snow began to fall
Buried treasure for his darling
Under redwood trees so tall
Snowed in all winter on the golden mountain
He returned in the spring
His bride was gone from the Angel Island
No one knew where, no one knew when
One more lifetime, one more lifetime
One more lifetime lovin' you
Now he lives a life like a Chinese painting
Shadows wash against the sky
Empty brushstrokes for his darling
They never said their last goodbye
