I've scaled the highest mountain Crossed the big blue sea Chased that mighty, mighty dollar Dreamed of the man that I could be Little things all around me Little things that I could never see Like the love you tried to give me And in the end, just threw it away I stood atop the golden tower Rode upon a silver steed Piled the riches higher and higher More then a man could ever need Little things all around me Little things that I could never see Like the heart beating inside me That I just threw it away Like this heart beating inside me That I just threw it away Those little things all around me Little things I never learned to see Like the love you tried to give me I went ahead and threw it away Like the love you tried to give me I just threw it away Oh, threw it away Little things all around me Little things that I could never see Like the heart breaking inside me I just threw it away
