Gold Dust (Letra)

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

sights and sounds
pull me back down
another year

i was here
i was here

whipping past
the reflecting pool
me and you
skipping school

and we make it up
as we go along
we make it up we
go along

you said –
you raced from langley –
pulling me underneath
a cherry blossom
canopy
-do i have-
of course i have,
beneath my raincoat,
i have your photographs.
and the sun on your
face
i’m freezing that frame

and somewhere alfie cries
and says "enjoy his every smile
you can see in the dark
through the eyes of laura mars"
how did it go so fast
you’ll say
as we are looking
back
and then we’ll
understand
we held gold dust
in our
hands

sights and sounds
pull me back down
another year

i was here
i was here

gaslights
glow in the street
(flickering past)
twilight held us
in her palm
as we walked along

and we make it up
as we go along
we make it up as we go along

letting names
hang in the
air
what color hair
(auburn crimson)
autumn knowingly
stared
and the day that
she came
i’m freezing that
frame
i’m freezing that frame

and somewhere alfie
smiles
and says "enjoy her
every cry
you can see in the
dark
through the eyes
of laura mars"

how did it go so
fast
you’ll say as we are looking back
and then we’ll understand
we held gold dust
in our
hands

in our
hands

This is the text on the rendezvous album:

If your eyes are blue you know the rest
Champagne if it’s very cool
It’s never very formal how you dress
For oysters by the swimming pool
Then slip away into the mountainside
Like the man in the lazy e’
It’s great to have a place where you can hide
Why you must amazes me

Chorus
Golden,
Where are you?
Sold on gold dust
I shuttled all around america
From new york to los angeles
Nervous breakdown later, there we were
From liberty to redwood trees
A friend of mine, she hitched from east to west
In time to hear my final song
It seems to me she tried her very best
She is a good companion

(chorus)

He stores away the moments of her smiles
As if they were rare butterflies
Stalks his prey for miles and miles and miles
Then barters for the merchandise
When life it drags the likes of me around
Just when we need some time alone
You have a simple mansion underground
Without address or telephone

(chorus)

The live version on the attic tracks vol. 3 and on gold dust – live at the royalty is a bit different. the last two lines of verse one are:
It’s nice to have a place where you can hide
For why you must amazes me

And the last verse is:
He stores away the moments of her smiles
As if they were rare butterflies
Stalks his prey for miles and miles and miles
And barters for the merchandise
As time it drags the likes of me around
Just when we need some time alone
You have a private mansion underground
Without address or telephone

You’re like gold dust
It breaks all of me
A foreign sun that I thought I’d never see
You’re like gold dust
Oh don’t change ever, no don’t change
There’s a hollow in this house whenever you go

You’re like gold dust
It breaks all of me
A foreign sun now I thought I’d never see
You’re like gold dust
Keep coming down the street
There’s a hollow in this house whenever you go

Keep coming down the street
There’s a hollow in this house whenever you go
Keep coming down the street
There’s a hollow in this house whenever you go
You’re like gold dust
