I looked outside the glass at golden shores

Golden ships and masts with golden cords

My golden eyes were dead and a thought passed through my head

A heart that is made of gold can't really beat at all

I wanted to wake up again

Without a touch of gold

Life begins at the intersection

My wife was at the door with her night robe on

Everything had changed my lungs had found their voice

And what was once routine was now the perfect joy
