lyrics

Golden and rose is the way I suppose it’s supposed to be
A sky with no clouds and the warblers sing louder than memory
The trees bearing fruit as the flood fed their roots it’s the edge of spring
And the colors catch my eye but there’s a ghost still behind almost everything

I want to hold your hand and say
Everything’s going to be okay
I know you understand
‘Cuz that’s what you wanna say too

The hawk circles round with an eye to the ground and no care for us
There’s a fresh river bed that the waters have fed and it’s in a rush
Count the flowers in bloom like the stars on new moon it’s a jaundiced tide
Hope a time will come soon when I sit next to you and your pulse won’t rise

I want to hold your hand and say
Everything’s going to be okay
I know you understand
‘Cuz that’s what you wanna say too

It’s a beautiful day and you’re so far from me
But this too will pass
Though the days may seem strange there’s no constant like change
Nothings built to last things fade too fast

I want to hold your hand and say
Everything’s going to be okay
I know you understand
‘Cuz that’s what you wanna say too

Everything’s going to be okay
Everything’s going to be okay
