Gold

These days are wild and free
Strange people pass by me
And I’ve got nothing but time

Plant a garden at my feet
I will grow amongst the weeds
And I never need to cry
Unless you cross my mind

Fade away
And become somebody who needs nobody
As I turn gray
The color of the sky reminds me that
Nothing gold was meant to stay

Our city was rust and tar
Be still my dying heart
And you could see right through
My sunny ruse

Far away
I’ve become somebody who needs nobody
As I turn gray
The color of the sky reminds me that
Nothing gold was meant to stay

Those days were never ours
Strange nights, stranger scars
But I nеver said goodbye
