Testo di Gold

Oh, the night is growing colder, And the stars have lost their shine. And I have been forsaken, By everything I thought was mine. For in the darkest hour, When the final story's told, No matter how bright I glittered, baby, I could never be gold. You gave up your finest treasure, For the one you saw in me. But how could I know the measure, Of all you needed me to be. Though I came with sweet intentions, More my pockets could not hold. No matter how bright I glittered, baby, I could never be gold. I finally gave up counting, The ways you said I let you down. When I fell into that river of no return, And you watched me drown. Oh I could sparkle like a diamond, Have silver line my soul. But no matter how I glittered, baby, I could never be gold. You looked so high and low for heaven, I tried so hard to show the way. But though I flew on wings of angels, My feet were always made of clay. I could come trailing clouds of glory, But you saw nothing to behold. No matter how bright I glittered, baby I could never be gold. No matter how bright I glittered, baby, i could never be gold
