Always Gold

作词 : Benjamin Cooper

作曲 : Benjamin Cooper

We were tight-knit boys, brothers in more than name

You would kill for me and knew that I'd do the same

And it cut me sharp hearing you'd gone away

But everything goes away

Yeah, everything goes away

But I'm gonna be here till I'm nothing but bones in the ground

And I was there when you grew restless and left in the dead of night

And I was there when three months later you were standing in the door all beat and tired

And I stepped aside

Everything goes away

Yeah, everything goes away

But I'm gonna be here till I'm nothing but bones in the ground

so quiet down

We were opposites at birth

I was steady as a hammer

And no one worried 'cause they knew just where I'd be

And they said you were the crooked kind and you would never have no worth

But you were always gold to me

Back when we were kids we swore we knew the future

And our words would take us halfway 'round the world

But I never left this town

And you never saw New York

And we ain't ever crossed the sea

But I am fine with where I am now

This home is home and all that I need

But for you this place is shame

You can blame me when there's no one left to blame

I don't mind

All my life I've never known where you've been

There were holes in you, the kind that I could not mend

And I heard you say, right when you left that day,

Does everything go away

Yeah, everything goes away

But I'm gonna be here till forever

So just call when you're around
