Lyrics
Paint It Golden
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Run away from money
Quit your job and climb a tree
One with hearts instead of leaves
Build a sandcastle big enough for us to sleep
Paint it golden with the sunrise
Chorus:
Cause we are
Like a wingless bird
Crashing down
To the helpless earth
And if somethin's gonna break it
See it all around you
Feel it in your body
You'll be hiding in the shadows
Where love is still alive
'Til all of it is burning
Through a field we're walkin
Empty as the open sky
We escape from all the troubles
Found a waterfall and
Took a dive to cool our skin
Finally we found this feelin'
Chorus
Run away from money
Quit your job and climb a tree
One with hearts instead of leaves
