I woke up not recognizing anything this morning Except for this big old clock on my wall My hair’s gotten whiter and my eyes are getting bluer The sun’s getting in through my skin
Say I’m here every step you take I am the wind on your skin I’m the lines across your face That tell your story to the world When it burns be patient Think of the ocean
Gold Yeah, I’m gold now And you don’t know if you think I’m old Gold No, I’m not old now I’m in the golden age Not my time to go yet
And I’m a gold child At the edge of the world And I want to be here with you If you look into my soul Just get past the broken bones You’ll see the sun getting in through my skin
Say I’m here every step you take I am the wind on your skin I’m the lines across your face That tell your story to the world When it burns be patient Think of the ocean
Gold Yeah, I’m Gold now And you don’t know if you think I’m old Gold No, I’m not old now I’m in the golden age Not my time to go yet

Gold Yeah, I’m gold now And you don’t know if you think I’m old Gold Even when it burns, oh I’m in the golden age Not my time to go yet
