Lady in Gold Lyrics

She had flames in her hair

Magic on her wrist

Cigarette smoke

Curled from her lips

It was dark in the desert

We met by the fire

Voice of an angel

Force of a choir

Wise and all-knowing

She had felt it all

In the mists of creation

Now man's greatest fall

Floating over water

Fire to the brim

As we sat by the flames

Saw the heavens within

Mother to so many

Grandma to us all

Dancing in her light

Since the day we could crawl

She spoke like a goddess

Showing us the way

She pulled me in close

Painted God on my leg

Her shapes, they were sacred

Her colors, they could fly

By the end of the night

Danced like crows in the sky

Her spirit was so wild

Her love, it drew me in

Like the flames of the fire

She carried with the wind

The glint of her starlight

Galaxy of old

Truth in the eyes

Of the Lady in Gold

Her soul is a mirror

I gazed and was shown

Truth in the eyes

Of the Lady in Gold

Lady in Gold

Lady in Gold

Lady in Gold

Lady in Gold

Lady in Gold

Lady in Gold

Lady in Gold

Lady in Gold

Lady in Gold

Lady in Gold

Lady in Gold

Lady in Gold

We drove down to Texas

We drove thru the night

Her stories kept me going

The tales of her life

She soared like an eagle

She slept on the ground

Was a queen long ago

Gave them up, all her vows

Took to soaring free

Like the birds in the air

Wasn't tied down by no one

Wasn't lost, wasn't scared

Found meaning in the breeze

And nirvana in the sand

She roamed like a lion

She was one with the land

She gave me sacred clothes

She lead with steady ease

With a drum in my hand

We danced in the streets

A man chased us down

Asked to play us a song

He thanked us for our presence

Showed him life wasn't gone

Harmonica in hand

He played out his heart

We roared and we cheered

And he broke all apart

His life was in ruin

His love was a mess

But feeling all our love

He lived with every breath

Lady in Gold

Lady in Gold

Lady in Gold

Lady in Gold

Lady in Gold

Lady in Gold

Lady in Gold

Lady in Gold
