Emmylou Harris - Gold |

|
| [00:05.88] |
Oh, the night is growing colder, |
| [00:10.37] |
And the stars have lost their shine. |
| [00:15.21] |
And I have been forsaken, |
| [00:19.32] |
By everything I thought was mine. |
| [00:24.36] |
For in the darkest hour, |
| [00:29.22] |
When the final story's told, |
| [00:34.14] |
No matter how bright I glittered, baby, |
| [00:39.81] |
I could never be gold. |
| [00:43.75] |
|
| [00:45.55] |
You gave up your finest treasure, |
| [00:50.41] |
For the one you saw in me. |
| [00:54.87] |
But how could I know the measure, |
| [00:59.30] |
Of all you needed me to be. |
| [01:04.49] |
Though I came with sweet intentions, |
| [01:08.89] |
More my pockets could not hold. |
| [01:14.23] |
No matter how bright I glittered, baby, |
| [01:19.84] |
I could never be gold. |
| [01:23.28] |
|
| [01:25.78] |
I finally gave up counting, |
| [01:29.86] |
The ways you said I let you down. |
| [01:35.04] |
When I fell into that river of no return, |
| [01:41.29] |
And you watched me drown. |
| [01:46.39] |
Oh I could sparkle like a diamond, |
| [01:51.56] |
Have silver line my soul. |
| [01:56.36] |
But no matter how I glittered, baby, |
| [02:02.10] |
I could never be gold. |
| [02:05.85] |
|
| [02:28.70] |
You looked so high and low for heaven, |
| [02:33.34] |
I tried so hard to show the way. |
| [02:38.09] |
But though I flew on wings of angels, |
| [02:42.47] |
My feet were always made of clay. |
| [02:49.83] |
I could come trailing clouds of glory, |
| [02:54.50] |
But you saw nothing to behold. |
| [03:00.16] |
No matter how bright I glittered, baby |
| [03:05.65] |
I could never be gold. |
| [03:08.91] |
|
| [03:11.65] |
No matter how bright I glittered, baby, |
| [03:17.39] |
I could never be gold. |
| [03:29.33] |
