Stay Gold

Sun shone high those few summer days

Left us in a soft, wide-eyed haze

It shone like gold, it shone like gold

But just as the moon, it shall stray

So dawn goes down to day

No gold can stay, no gold can stay

What if our hard work ends in despair?

What if the road won't take me there?

Oh, I wish for once we could stay gold

What if to love and be loved's not enough?

What if I fall and can't bear to get up?

Oh, I wish for once we could stay gold

Could stay gold

On our way through rugged land

Top of that mountain we wanted to stand

With hearts of gold, with hearts of gold

But there is only forward, no other way

Tomorrow is your hope at the end of the day

And gold turns grey and gold turn grey

What if our hard work ends in despair?

What if the road won't take me there?

Oh, I wish for once we could stay gold

What if to love and be loved's not enough?

What if I fall and can't bear to get up?

Oh, I wish for once we could stay gold

Could stay gold

All of my dreams they fall and form a bridge

Of memories where I can't get back

All of my dreams they fall and form a bridge

Of memories where I can't get back to you, to you

What if our hard work ends in despair?

What if the road won't take me there?

Oh, I wish for once we could stay gold

What if to love and be loved's not enough?

What if I fall and can't bear to get up?

Oh, I wish for once we could stay gold

Could stay gold

Could stay gold

Stay gold
