[offset:0]
[00:00.76]Golden golden golden river run
[00:05.76]
[00:07.94]To the East then drop beneath the sun
[00:13.27]
[00:15.95]And as the moon lies low and overhead
[00:21.16]
[00:23.35]We're lost
[00:26.43]
[00:49.57]Burn slow burning up the back wall
[00:55.63]
[00:58.19]Long roads where the city meets the sky
[01:03.52]
[01:06.77]Most days most days stay the sole same
[01:13.41]
[01:15.66]Please stay for this fear it will not die
[01:21.84]
[01:23.34]If I had a boat I would sail to you
[01:27.94]Hold you in my arms ask you to be true
[01:32.33]Once I had a dream it died long before
[01:36.71]Now I'm pointed north hoping for the shore
[01:41.25]
[01:44.83]Down low down amongst the thorn rows
[01:52.92]
[01:53.74]Weeds grow through the lilies and the vine
[01:58.96]
[02:02.64]Birds play try to find their own way
[02:08.45]
[02:11.45]Soft clay on your feet and under mine
[02:17.08]
[02:18.91]If I had a boat I would sail to you
[02:23.33]Hold you in my arms ask you to be true
[02:27.77]Once I had a dream it died long before
[02:32.26]Now I'm pointed north hoping for the shore
[02:37.34]
[02:39.34]Splitting at the seams
[02:42.53]
[02:43.65]Heaving at the brace
[02:45.65]
[02:48.15]Sheets all billowing
[02:50.34]
[02:52.65]Breaking of the day
[02:55.09]
[02:57.03]Sea is not my friend
[02:58.78]
[03:01.40]And everyone conspires
[03:04.46]
[03:05.90]Still I choose to swim
[03:08.59]
[03:10.34]Slip beneath the tide
[03:12.62]
[03:14.82]Once I had a dream
[03:17.00]Once I had a hope
[03:19.24]That was yesterday
[03:21.38]Not so long ago
[03:23.56]This is not the end
[03:25.81]This is just the world
[03:28.12]Such a foolish thing
[03:30.25]Such an honest girl
[03:32.48]If I had a boat I would sail to you
[03:36.99]Hold you in my arms ask you to be true
[03:41.29]Once I had a dream it died long before
[03:45.73]Now I'm pointed north hoping for the shore
