Deliverance

[Verse 1] Nature's first green is gold Her hardest hue to hold Spring's early flower But only so an hour Then leaf subsides to leaf Eden sank to grief As night turns into day Nothing gold can stay, yeah [Bridge] The messenger boys are panting, they've run all the way There's been a pile-up on the information highway, yeah The truth recovered from the wreckage The truth recovered from the wreckage gives me [Chorus] Deliverance Deliverance [Verse 2] Fire's first flame is bright Flames leap to a height They gather to fuel its heat It warms with smile's sweet greet, yeah Ashes overflow Flame gives way to a glow All is lost we say Nothing gold can stay [Bridge] The messenger boys are panting, they've run all the way There's been a pile-up on the information highway, yeah The truth recovered from the wreckage The truth recovered from the wreckage gives me [Chorus] Deliverance Deliverance Nothing gold can stay Nothing gold can stay Nothing, nothing Nothing gold can stay Nothing gold can stay Nothing, nothing, nothing Nothing gold can stay Nothing gold can stay Nothing gold can stay Stay Stay
