lyrics

your long dark hair
frames a wealth of golden smiles
and I stare
seems to melt away the miles

find another painted sky and I
watch the headlights pass me by
and I have waited long enough for now

I never thought of this til now
and I gotta find a way somehow
to take your youth and tame it
try to make it mine somehow
doing everything to save it
like a royal golden crown

I read your words
I've collected over time
another verse
I can place into this rhyme

I walk into your little world and smile
my shaking hands are getting wet and while
you ask me if I'd like to come inside

I never thought of this til now
and I gotta find a way somehow
to take your youth and tame it
try to make it mine somehow
doing everything to save it
like a royal golden crown

I find the words to say goodbye and I
make and effort not to cry but I
can feel the thunder forcing rain from shine

I never thought of this til now
and I gotta find a way somehow
to take your youth and tame it
try to make it mine somehow
doing everything to save it
like a royal golden crown
