Gold Dust [Gold Dust]

[Verse 1]

Sights and sounds pull me back down another year

I was here, I was here

Whipping past the reflecting pool

Me and you skipping school

[Refrain]

And we make it up as we go along

We make it up as we go along

[Verse 2]

You said you raced from Langley

Pulling me underneath a cherry blossom canopy

Do I have? Of course I have beneath my raincoat

I have your photographs

[Pre-Chorus]

And the sun on your face

I'm freezing that frame

[Chorus]

And somewhere Alfie cries

And says, "Enjoy his every smile

You can see in the dark

Through the eyes of Laura Mars"

"How did it go so fast?"

You'll say as we are looking back

And then we'll understand

We held gold dust in our hands

[Verse 3]

Sights and sounds pull me back down another year

I was here, I was here

Gaslights glow in the street, twilight held us in her palm

(Flickering past)

As we walked along

[Refrain]

And we make it up as we go along

We make it up as we go along

[Verse 4]

Letting names hang in the air

What colour hair?

Autumn knowingly stared

(Auburn crimson)

[Pre-Chorus]

And the day that she came, yes

I'm freezing that frame

I'm freezing that frame

[Chorus]

And somewhere Alfie smiles

And says, "Enjoy her every cry

You can see in the dark

Through the eyes of Laura Mars"

"How did it go so fast?"

You'll say as we are looking back

And then we'll understand

We held gold dust in our hands

In our hands
