One day we are young
|
And by the next one we are old
|
Despite the years
|
And tears of gold precede the rapture
|
Time has its way
|
With everyone in its path
|
She combs her hair
|
And tears of gold fall on the gray
|
Tears of gold
|
Tears of golden restraint
|
As evidence of the pain that we feel inside
|
Mary anne, settle down
|
Let's bring the band around "how 'bout"
|
And we'll sing you to heaven and back
|
Laura lee sets the food out on the table top for us
|
And when she asks mary anne to say grace
|
Mary anne settles down
|
Wiping tears of gold from her face
|
Where we are strong
|
By tomorrow we will grow weak and disappear
|
Our families will gather 'round to remember
|
Where we are flesh and blood
|
By the next one we are dust under the wheels
|
Without a love we're only ash in urns of silver
|
Tears of gold, tears of gold en restraint
|
As evidence of the pain that she feels
|
Tears of gold, tears of gold promise the rapture and heal the soul
|
Replacing tears of gold with music and laughter
|
Tears of gold, tears of gold
|
