Laid In Gold

(album: Lookout Low - 2019)

It's too early to bear this cross
It wasn't long ago that I started feeling lost
You pull up when I'm flat on my face
Saying you were running round all over the place
Last night you forgot your phone
I thought you'd be here so I opened up the door
To peel you up and dust you off
We gotta do it all over again

It felt regal, like we were made of gold
Not to settle in the dust or refuse anymore
And you know, from the things we've seen
When you roll up to the pack, put yourself back you'll come up with me

A farewell to my old friend
Time to travel on you can't stop it to pretend
We'd run the levee when we start to feel strong
But came down quick and now we ought to go home
You're so sharp I can tell by your sight
You better sleep good because you ain't been eating right

We can sing our favorite songs
Cause we won't feel lonely when it don't feel wrong
We was regal and with nothing to show
But never settled in the dust, we just moved with the flow

Before you go and find a place to be
You gotta roll up to the pack, put yourself back and come up with me
