Lyrics
Middle Is 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.
Catch them when you can, 'cause it takes them to know
Who, can you tell me, who do you love?
You ought to know things will never be the same, boy
Middle is gold and gold does not forgive
That's enough to drive you mad
Nora's on the step trying to make a mama go
You ought to know things will never be the same, boy
Who, can you tell me
Middle is gold and gold does not forgive
Tempered on the block, and a black-ade is a must
You ought to know things will never be the same, boy
Who, can you tell me
Middle is gold, and who do you love?
That's enough to drive you mad
I derive and I know you're gonna cheer up someday
We have enough to make us stay
This ain't enough to make us stay
We don't desire alien ways
I don't desire any other way
I derive and I know you're gonna cheer up someday
We have enough to make us stay
This ain't enough to make us stay
We don't desire alien ways
I don't desire any other way
I derive and I know you're gonna come back someday soon
You can get only what it is you want
It's always the same by and by
The window down
By and by
