Golden & Gone 🐝🐝🐝

Golden & Gone [Verse 1] I was planted in the clay Facing east to greet the day Wearing gold I could not choose Rooted deep, afraid to move You came spinning through the air Black and amber, wild and rare Landing soft without a sound Like you’d always known me, somehow [Pre-Chorus] I can’t follow where you go I can only turn and grow Toward the warmth you always bring You, my only wandering thing [Chorus] You carry pieces of me Far beyond where I can see And I don’t know if you’ll return But I’ll hold my face to the light and burn I am tall but I can’t move You are free but always through This same field, this same gold glow You find me, and then you go [Verse 2] You speak a language made of wings Of dancing circles, trembling things I understand it in my chest A pulling deep beneath my breast I offer everything I own Every grain, every golden throne You take what you need and rise And I watch you dissolve in skies [Pre-Chorus] There’s a sweetness in this ache Something given, something taken What we trade is old as time You were never really mine [Chorus] You carry pieces of me Far beyond where I can see And I don’t know if you’ll return But I’ll hold my face to the light and burn I am tall but I can’t move You are free but always through This same field, this same gold glow You find me, and then you go [Bridge] Maybe love is just this — Standing open, being kissed By something wild that needs you too But belongs to the whole world, not just you Maybe love is just this — Giving freely, never fists Letting go of what lands here Then turning toward the light, not fear [Final Chorus] You carry pieces of me Farther than I’ll ever be And somewhere in a stranger’s field Something I gave is being revealed I am rooted, you are wind Every end is a begin Come back golden, come back strange Come back through this field again [Outro] I’ll be here Face to the sky Gold and open Watching you fly I’ll be here I’ll be here I’ll be here…​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
