Gold |
| Oh, the night is growing colder |
| And the stars have lost their shine |
| And I have been forsaken |
| By everything I thought was mine |
| For in the darkest hour |
| When the final story’s told |
| No matter how bright I glittered, baby |
| I could never be gold |
| You gave up your finest treasure |
| For the one you saw in me |
| But how could I know the measure |
| Of all you needed me to be? |
| Though I came with sweet intentions |
| More my pockets could not hold |
| No matter how bright I glittered, baby |
| I could never be gold |
| I finally gave up counting |
| The ways you said I let you down |
| When I fell into that river of no return |
| And you watched me drown |
| Oh I could sparkle like a diamond |
| Have silver line my soul |
| But no matter how bright I glittered, baby |
| I could never be gold |
| You looked so high and low for heaven |
| I tried so hard to show the way |
| But though I flew on wings of angels |
| My feet were always made of clay |
| I could come trailing clouds of glory |
| But you saw nothing to behold |
| No matter how bright I glittered, baby |
| I could never be gold |
| No matter how bright I glittered, baby |
| I could never be gold |
