I'D Give You Gold

I'd give you gold If I thought it would make it easier To keep you from the next mountain's goldrush To hold you from the herds of dreams You needed to corral To stop the forward motion Of your must keep moving ons... I' d give you gold If it were the color you sought in my hair But it was the darkened blackness First drew you to my well of wicked wanting And gold, it would be, the breaking of dawn Beyond my seaside sanctuary To your hardwood hills, far, too far now, your nest Gold and golden words to wash your mouth with Gold and golden eggs from the fairy tale goose Gold and golden stars, affixed to every sent letter Gold and golden rings to wear, to share, to shine But gold is not enough So I settle for a silver lining That somehow we keep finding ways to forget We ever said goodbye
