[A Golden Crown] [ Verse 1: Intimate Vulnerable Vocals ] The industry is changing everywhere, We saved our names with style and savoir-faire. My woolen suit is crisp and fits me well, I have a brand new story left to tell. [ Pre-Chorus 1: Building Emotional Tension, Passionate Vocals ] The clouds begin to gather in the sky, I feel a sudden spark as they go by. [ Chorus 1: Upfront Solo Vocals, Clear Articulation ] When spirit moves the world begins to glow, I find a melody that lovers know. It doesn't matter if the shadows frown, I wear this jubilation like a crown. [ Verse 2: Intimate Vulnerable Vocals ] I walk you to your door on Hollywood, The jasmine smells exactly like it should. The stars are watching from a velvet height, The first few drops of silver hit the night. [ Pre-Chorus 2: Building Emotional Tension, Passionate Vocals ] I fold my canopy and throw it wide, There is no reason left for me to hide. [ Chorus 2: Upfront Solo Vocals, Clear Articulation ] When spirit moves the world begins to glow, I find a melody that lovers know. It doesn't matter if the shadows frown, I wear this jubilation like a crown. [Instrumental Break - Soulful Expressive Saxophone Solo] [ Bridge: Dry Upfront Vocals, Crisp Piano, Tight Rhythm ] I’m spinning round a streetlamp in the cold, I'm soaking wet but I'm happy and I'm bold. I’m splashing gutters, kicking up the foam, I’ve found a paradise away from home. [ Verse 3: Intimate Vulnerable Vocals ] A sturdy policeman is standing near, He wonders why I have no sense of fear. My heavy clothes are clinging to my skin, I tip my hat and let him see my grin. [ Pre-Chorus 3: Building Emotional Tension, Passionate Vocals ] The thunder is a symphony for me, A man in love is finally so free. [ Final Chorus: Upfront Solo Vocals, Clear Articulation ] Now spirit moves and makes the world ignite, I found a sacred song to guide my sight. The storm can try but it will never win, I’m washing off the year that might have been. [ Outro: Upfront Dry Vocals, Fading Emotional Resonance ] The rain is falling on the empty stones, I feel the lightning deep within my bones. A happy man who’s soaking wet and true, Because my Kathy, I am loving you.
