What Is Gold Lyrics

Mouths Of Babes What Is Gold

Clock is ticking loud
On the mantel
Right next to the photograph
Of us at the altar
Twenty years ago

You would never know
You'd never guess
I don't let it show
I've been a mess
Twenty years went by

Down the ridge it goes
And disappears
In shades of blue and rose
Oh, and if this day is gone forever
Please just say
What is gold will stay

You were never wrong
You killed with kindness
Silent and strong with only
Peripheral blindness
Twenty years with you

Down the ridge it goes
And disappears
In shades of blue and rose
Oh, and if this world is gone forever
Please just say
What is gold will stay

Oh, oh

So maybe in a day
Or maybe sooner
You won't know my face
As it grows truer
Twenty years from now

And down the ridge it goes
And disappears
In shades of blue and rose
Oh, and if my world must change forever
Please just say, let me believe
Down the ridge it goes
And disappears
In shades of blue and rose
Oh, and if my world must change forever
Please just say
What is gold will stay
