City 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.

Yeah, I used to find hope in the wreckage

Dark news in from the past

And all I can feel is the feeling that we'll never say hi if ever we pass

So, send word to my last known existence

Lost at last in the wind

It's all come-ups and clover until it's all over

You know all good things come to an end

And if you're thinking about dropping a line

Tell 'em I'm back on Southern time

To the city of gold and, baby, I'm told that Jozi is doing just fine

I'm too easy on giving out chances

Too long alone on the range

You might think that I'm strange but I come with a pain

Of a man scorned again and again

Some folks think about their lovers

Some folks think about their goals

I've been thinking lately about the way you'd speak to me

I think it's time I disappear, I'm feeling old

So if you're thinking about dropping a line

Tell 'em I'm back on Southern time

To the city of gold and, baby, I'm told that Jozi is doing just fine

So, just sit with me morning and nighttime

Have me on your front porch

I'll be still, I'll be quiet

I never knew why it was so hard for me to be who you want

Yeah, I've thought about finding new lovers

Thought about burning the past

All that I want is a kind heart to haunt

My shrink says it ain't too much to ask

So if you're thinking about dropping a line

Tell 'em I'm back on Southern time

To the city of gold and, baby, I'm told that Jozi is doing just fine

Back to the city of gold and, baby, I'm told that Jozi is doing just fine

City of gold, I've been told you're fine

City of gold, I've been told you're fine

City of gold, I've been told you're fine

City of gold, I've been told you're mine
