Lyrics
Golden Girl
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.
I see in the green stream that meanders round my mind
A girl standing with arms so warm and kind
She reaches out, she calls my name
But I just can’t get through
I know that she’s waiting, in a land of sunny rain
And I know that I’ll find my girl, and it’s there I will remain
I’ll lay right down, and there I’ll stay
'Cause there is paradise
I’ve often felt her breathing, as I rolled round your streets
And so I look around me, but we’d never chance to meet
The golden girl with eyes of green
A girl just meant for me
I see in the green stream that meanders round my mind
A girl standing with arms so warm and kind
She’s standing there, she calls my name
But I just can’t get through
