Golden Love in Modern Years

I know the little soul when the sky
goes out begging. You are after me.
I'm going to stay all in, baby. Get
lost in things. There's my shadow.
I catch it for warmth when the
newspaper hits the door. I run but
things won’t chase the way I want.
I don't believe it’s all really up to me
today. A change and I wish the days
were getting longer, wish I was getting
smarter standing in your wind. But
doing it all, my heart’s never as young.
Don't break the wave waiting for my
sweet goodbye. Don't cry like a fool.
This is “so long”, but I’ll see you in
twenty, still trying to care. There's
no one coming to get a dream signed
on the back of a life. It belongs to the
power. Once you charmed my baby
all the way down. I'm back lying on
the driveway, going to wait for it to
rain. I could never be falling in puddles.
Walk some of the time beside a gold
mine and see me in years, stomping
these leaves into the ground and touching
you by the thousands. Stuck with time,
it terrifies me to act fine, makes me a
baby, this lost walk with tall trees.
Take me back to the party. Looks were
never put to rest in my time. I can’t trust
in God. Never know where I’ll end up.
For you, man, that's all luck and confessions.
In walked religion, strings I don't believe
in pulling. Once the doors are opening
with love, don't let me be pleading to
hear you say life's not done. Taking me
nowhere, the boy got it right, and it's
not really love unless you worked the
night they said you were dying.






I worked some lyrics together for this homage. I do hope you enjoy it.
