The Strange Neighbors weight in gold

I went walking down where the pavement turned to sand
and there I found a man with fortune in his hand
And He
said to me:
wander on
His eyes were dark as holes, pale like cloudy sky
hands were strong and old, lived 1, 000 lives
And He
said to me:
Wander on
I arrived.
And so I took what I was told and I wandered down the road.
What I found isn't ever sold, but it's worth it's weight in gold.
And so I go
wander on.
wander on
wander on
