Lyrics
Cross 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.
Where do you stand
What is your statement
What is it you're trying to say
What's in your hand
What's in your basement
What's in the cards you don't play
Are you holding the key
Or are you intending
To pick the lock of heaven's gate
It's confusing to me
The message you're sending
And I don't know if I can relate
What's your line
Tell me why you wear your cross of gold
State of mind
Or does it find a way into your soul
Is it a flame
Is it a passion
A symbol of love living in you
Or is it a game
Religious in fashion
Some kind of phase you're going thru
We all travel the extremes
From cellar to rafter
Looking for a place in the Sun
So I'm trying to see
What you're headed after
But I don't know where you're coming from
For some it’s simple something to wear around you neck
Just a chain
Jewelry
Is it decoration?
Is it an icon, or proclomation?
An icon of what?
For some it’s simple something to wear around you neck
Just a chain
It means a lot more than that to me
