Gold On The River ft. The Sentimentals Lyrics

Well I ran so fast for years

I thought the price was tears and running was the key

I looked for love and comfort everywhere

I learned to stare but I never learned to see

I was playing some casino and there you were

Beside the spinning wheel of fortune

My rhinestone girl

When I was young and innocent

I mostly felt just awkward and naive

I wanted to be older

With my coat slung on my shoulder, heart on my sleeve

When I finally found the stillness in myself

I started wondering just how many years

Were left upon the shelf

Time paints a lullaby

With gold on the river

'Til the rivers run dry

Time is a long goodbye

It's a taker and a giver

It's a slow dance and we all want more time

We made love among the ruins

We made music out of all that history

We found joy as the summer waned

And winter blew the leaves off of the trees

We measured all the sweetness that we found

Against the bitter times of waiting

'Til the good times come around

Time paints a lullaby

With gold on the river

'Til the rivers run dry

Time is a long goodbye

It's a taker and a giver

It's a slow dance and we all want more time

Heaven is a feeling

It's a peaceful Sunday morning cup of tea

It's my shelter from the storm

When I know the storm is waiting for me

When I'm far away and down to the bone

Trying to sing my way to heaven

Trying to get back home

Time paints a lullaby

With gold on the river

'Til the rivers run dry

Time is a long goodbye

It's a taker and a giver

It's a slow dance and we all want more time
