Gold

And I try to place you like I love you
And I try to find out what it means
In my line there's a tracing of a profile
And you and I are somewhere in between

So it goes your tears are alkali delighted
By the week the week that brought you to today
I don't know if you need a man to write it
But I know you need someone to say

You're worth the gold that weighs down your name
You've got a hold that I can't explain

And a stone throw away from the lamplight
I am home so far away from where
Home should be and the memories the firefights
Are stowaways pushing out to see

You're worth the gold that weighs down your name
You've got a hold that I can't explain

We've got time something so familiar
Is the light you pin up in your hair
There's a place of fortune and firelight
And you and I are somewhere in between
