Gold and Braid

(Where are the worlds…)

Though deep-set… somewhat shadowed…
Her life… her mystery…
Was no different than the way that he said,
“Don’t hide behind your hair that way…”

In his heart, he wishes for her stardom
His eyes wish for her far more
It’s not so different, in the way that he said
“There are so very few stars left”
Oohhh..

Well don’t hide behind your hair
It’s a bit of gold and braid
Easy come the tears
You see a pathway
Ending with a doorway
She slips toward the doorway
Been waiting there all day…
All these years…

Though deep-set and somewhat shadowed
Her life… her wisdom of old…
It’s not so different than the way that he said
“Well don’t hide your eyes from me that way, baby”

Well, don’t hide your eyes from me
It’s a bit of gold and braid
Easy come the tears
She sees a pathway
Ending with a doorway
She slips toward the doorway
He’s been waiting there all day
All these years
Don’t hide it…

Ooh… in his heart
He wishes to forget her
Like to make her better
And hold her like a child

Though deep-set and somewhat shadowed
Is her life… her mystery…
It was no different
Than the way that he said
“Well don’t hide behind your hair that way, baby…”

Well don’t hide behind your hair
It’s a bit of gold and braid
Easy come the tears
She sees a pathway
Ending with a doorway
She slips toward the doorway
He’s waiting there all day
All these years…

Don’t hide your eyes that way
Don’t hide anything, not anymore
Oh in the eye of a storm
When all the light is on
When all the light is on
Oh there is lightening..

In a dream he whispers this time
“You cannot run away, run away from me…”
Whoa…
And in a dream he whispered
“Well I never did not love you…”
