lyrics

Golden

New and tender like the spring
I was open to everything
I was green, so green
You smiled at me and I couldn't think
I must've blushed a perfect pink
Like a rose, unfolding slow

Chorus:
You were Golden
And you made me shine
And I thought that you were mine
For a brief but precious time
And I was Golden too
Golden, like you

You were silent, strong and deep
A lake full of mystery
You were blue, so blue
And I was burning with your love
Every night, never enough
Burning red, oh so red (to chorus)

But then you turned out the light
And you left me in the night
It was black, so black
No more fire, only smoke
No more colors when I woke
Only white, cold and white (to chorus)
