Drafting a letter in his head, singing his story to the wind through tightly pressed lips, frost doing what it must; yet he remains
lyrics
Nothing Gold
V1
Watching the world from where he stands
Judgement in his mind
No return, cap in hand
Recalls what he’s left behind
V2
Heading off shadows that are closing in
They draw around his face
An image of original sin
Reflects without a trace
Chorus
Swirling circles in between
What has gone and what’s to be
Knowing that his dawn goes down to day
Early frost reaching deep
Soothing sadness into sleep
Knowing that nothing gold can stay
V3
Chilled and broken like autumn rain
Night breath sweeps his heart
I don’t know where he goes but he remains
In between day and dark
Chorus
Swirling circles in between
What has gone and what’s to be
Knowing that dawn goes down to day
Early frost reaching deep
Soothing sadness into sleep
Knowing that nothing gold can stay
Reprise V1
Watching the world from where he stands
Judgement in his mind
No return, cap in hand
Recalls what’s left behind
