The Golden Glow Lyrics

The Golden Glow

Once there was a youngster fishing down the beach

Knowing that his birdie stayed home out of reach

If she could say a simple word to bring him home again

Why would someone bother what would have happened then

Young fisher saw a golden glow out in the deepest caves

His line was flung and net in hand he stepped into the waves

The rocks made him stumble and pain struck his knee

His eyes were fixed by that one gleaming whirl in the sea

Though the line was fiercely tight, his rod bent very low

She didn't give an inch, instead she pulled him, slowly

Into the deep, into her depth, where she teasingly lingered

And twisted his line of life round her golden fingers

I hear them mumble behind their beer, the boy was just a fool

For bringing in such golden fish, you need some other tools

The golden glow will appear any time you're not prepared

I hope you can retell it, don't argue it wasn't fair

Once there was a youngster selling dope from his new car

Knowing that his lover was waiting not too far

If she could say a simple word to bring him home again

Why would someone bother what would have happened then
