Nothing Gold

from NOTHING GOLD by That Dream Was Our Life

lyrics

It's only indifference
If there were no people there'd be no significance
Are you performing for yourself
Or is the click in the mirror for an invisible audience

Don't hold on to anything that you can't keep
Nothing gold can stay
A song dissolving you like sleep

Is it only bitterness
Or is there no room for wishes in the heart of a cynic
Do you keep your eyes in front of you
Or are you comparing yourself to an impossible happiness

Don't hold on to anything that you can't keep
Nothing gold can stay
A song disintegrating through your dreams

When I see the light in your eyes
& it's dancing for someone else
I guess it hurts just a little bit

I'll say goodbye to the shore
And if the cure for loss is wanting more
Then I call on the infinite

Don't hold on to anything that you can't keep
Nothing gold can stay
A song disintegrating through your dreams
