lyrics
“Michelle, I listened to your song. I feel like what you’re singing doesn’t quite make sense.”
Gold, gold, everywhere you go
Gold, gold, everywhere you go
You look like you have just come from the moon
Did they know where the beginning would start?
Did they know where the beginning would start?
Could I imagine, could I ever
Could I imagine, could I ever
All that I take with me
Shows me what I should become
And what I learn is what appears
In everything I bring back here
“Hi Michelle. Nothing in particular, wanted to ask you how you are. Yeah, we kind of worry about you, okay? Take care of yourself.
Where are you going to be today? Maybe we go to San Francisco, but I don’t know where you’re going to be at certain time of the day or something.
Anyways, nothing special. Just wish you everything safe, happy, and make sure to take care of yourself. And those are the important things. And well whenever you have time you can always call my cell phone. Thanks, bye.”
At the edge everything is gold
The sea between the world you had and for that the one I know
Could I ever tell the story right?
“All for a simple life…”
“Patience, time, and love
Show me what I should become
What I learn is what appears
In everything I bring back here
Is that what you meant?”
Could I ever tell the story right?
Salt, heat, and light
A simple life
