Gold

Settled in With the sound of the wind And the lonely song it sings Resides a parable I know Pull it tight Overhead in the night When the walls are closing in Never knew how far I’d go Felt it best Was laid to rest But now this weight’s upon my chest Moved along What was here now is gone Wasn’t time to say goodbye Still the memories they burn Paid a debt That I’ll never forget No matter how I try Another lesson left unlearned A subtle glow From down below Lights the way to where I’d go All the gold I took for granted Melted down and sold for free Squandered it as if I’d planned it Callously Now I’m free Steel myself for one more ride Convinced of truths I know are lies No place to lay but on the line Here comes the wind to sing its fateful lullaby All the gold I took for granted Melted down and sold for free Squandered it as if I’d planned it Callously All the gold I took for granted Melted down and sold for free Squandered it as if I’d planned it Now I’m free
