The Golden Days Are Over

(album: Silver - 1983)

She locks the bedroom door lies face down on the bed
Hears voices down the hall are they real or in her head
Pictures on the wall reminders every one
Just memories of the past of a time that's
Been and gone
All those wild and crazy nights they still
Dance before her eyes
(those crazy nights her name in lights)

Look at her now the golden days are over
Look at her now no leading man to hold her
She was one in a million now she's that
Forgotten face
Look at her now the golden days are over

Applauded by the press an overnight success
A favourite with the fans had them eating
From her hands
But stars fall from the sky in the twinkle
Of an eye

There's no more silver screen just another
Broken dream
Still she strikes a classic pose just in case
The cameras roll
(she steals the scene relieves the dream)

Look at her now the golden days are over
Look at her now no leading man to hold her
She was one in a million now she's that
Forgotten face
Look at her now she needs someone to hold her
To feed her lines someone to co-star
Someone to shine

Look at her now the golden days are over
(the golden days are over they're over)
Look at her now no leading man to hold her
(no m.g.m. no paramount no 20th century)
Look at her now the golden days are over
(decline and fall no curtain call)
