Gold

[00:11.74] Oh, the night is growing colder
[00:14.42] And the stars have lost their shine
[00:20.87] And I have been forsaken
[00:25.31] By everything I thought was mine
[00:31.65] For in the darkest hour
[00:36.18] When the final story's told
[00:41.63] No matter how bright I glittered, baby
[00:47.99] I could never be gold
[00:55.15] I believed your finest treasure
[00:59.46] Would be the one you saw in me
[01:04.91] But how could I know the measure
[01:09.48] Of all you needed me to be
[01:15.77] Though I came with sweet intentions
[01:20.29] More my pockets could not hold
[01:25.71] No matter how bright I glittered, baby
[01:32.00] I could never be gold
[01:39.22] I finally gave up counting
[01:43.79] The ways you said I let you down
[01:49.16] When I fell into that river of no return
[01:55.62] And you watched me drown
[02:01.93] Oh, I could sparkle like a diamond
[02:07.35] Have silver line my soul
[02:12.80] But no matter how bright I glittered, baby
[02:19.11] I could never be gold
[02:25.45] You looked so high and low for heaven
[02:29.90] I tried so hard to show the way
[02:35.45] But though I flew on wings of angels
[02:40.82] My feet were always made of clay
[02:48.97] I could come trailing clouds of glory
[02:53.41] But you saw nothing to behold
[02:59.83] No matter how bright I glittered, baby
[03:06.12] I could never be gold
[03:12.53]
