Time goes by No choice to build a nest In time Time goes by Not a sign of home In our eyes Migrations like a song No pattern But a rhythm for so long For so long humming.. Like a beating heart And you'll know you're home When you have no key To call you're own humming... A temporary home Is what I find And that will have to be Just fine Just fine He swept me off my feet And showed me a land Where the trees are red and gold And the cliffs hold you're hand Where the cliffs hold you're hand Like a bird song My life has been And we could only win We could only win We could only win This home I've found Will never be sold It lies within For a hundred years For a hundred years For a hundred years

Cast in Gold 03:46
Fields of wheat That won't create Their smile won't change But it'll change you're DNA And still they won't budge Not even a nudge Cuz they're so bought and sold Like monsters cast in gold Monsters Cast in Gold No thought or word leaves or arrives And still it should come as no surprise You can't say we haven't tried When the wind has pushed us aside It's more like a tornado at times Cuz they're so bought and sold Like Monsters Cast in Gold Like Monsters Cast in Gold Effective sonar Makes whales blind It's a shame for all kind It's a shame for all kind koto solo They're so small And so few We can take them Me and you We can take them Me and you We have to We have to We have to

Fold your frown into A beautiful sound Wear your crown of thorns You can take that off of your head now One of these days You would know One of these days Harsh words fall like stone Too heavy to inspire You could lift them up No reason to conspire One of these days You would know One of these days One of these days One of these days One of these days I wonder if I could Make it easier on you Maybe I could do it for you I wish I had a pill to kill But it's not even real You should have known You could have known One of these days One of these days One of these days You would know These days One of these days These days One of these days
