Lyrics
Band of Gold
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.
This band of gold never meant much to me
a link in the chain that the world wants to see
a part of the show that the world asks you for
You can do what you want behind any closed door
This band of gold slips off easily
but there's a mark underneath it anybody can see
The sun and the wind, the years and the days
made that mark a part of me and it won't go away
And just like that mark there's a part of my heart
your love protects from the storm
and there I can be a child who's free
though my body is weary and worn
And that band of gold is as big as the sky
No ocean is wider--no mountain as high
It's as soft as your kiss is and as warm as our bed
and with that band of gold every day I thee wed
