(Like freedom in spring)
She's alone tonight with a bitter cup and
She's undone tonight, she's all used up
She's been staring down the demons
Who've been screaming
She's just another so and so,
Another so and so
You are golden
You are golden child
You are golden
Don't let go
Don't let go tonight
There's a fear that burns like trash inside
And your shame the curse that burns your eyes
You've been hiding in the bedroom
Hoping this isn't how the story has to go
It's not the way it goes
It's your book now
You are golden
You are golden, Child
You are golden
Don't let go
Don't let go tonight
You're a lonely soul in a land of broken hearts
Your far from home, is a perfect place to start
(Yeah!)
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
So this final verse is a contradiction
And the more we learn the less we know
We've been talking' about a feeling
We both know inside but couldn't find the words
I couldn't write this verse
I've seldom been so sure
About anything before
Golden
You are Golden, child
You are Golden
(Don't let go)
(Don't let go tonight)
This world is a dead man down (Golden, you are)
Every breath is a singing crown we wear (Golden, Child, you are)
Like some debilitated king (Golden, don't let go)
(Don't let go tonight)
The Earth spins and your mind goes round (Golden, you are)
The green comes on the frozen ground (Golden, Child, you are)
And everything will be made new again (Golden)
Like freedom and spring (Golden, Golden)
Hey, like freedom and spring (Golden, you are, hey)
Like freedom and spring (Golden, Child, you are)
(Gold...)
