Gold Day

Written by Mark Linkous

LYRICS
Good morning my child
Stay with me a while
You not got any place to be
Won’t you sit a spell with me?
You’ve got diamonds for eyes
It’s time for you to rise
And evaporate in the sun
Sometimes it can weigh a ton
Keep all your crows away
Hold skinny wolves at bay
In silver piles of smiles
May all your days be gold my child
A necklace of leaves
The spirits in their trees
And drown all the clocks ’til there’s none
Little Indian in the sun
Keep all your crows away
Hold skinny wolves at bay
In silver piles of smiles
May all your days be gold my child
Good morning my child
Stay with me a while
And evaporate in the sun
Sometimes it can weigh a ton
Keep all your crows away
Hold skinny wolves at bay
In silver piles of smiles
May all your days be gold my child
May all your days be gold my child
May all your days be gold my child
May all your days be gold my child
