Kind of Gold

Northern snow on the window sill

The southern sun far away from this chill

I think about that place so far away

Whose mountains stretch in a pacific bay

The world has stopped in all of its tracks

No going forward but we can't go back

The sun stays high in that ever blue sky

We would watch it as it passes us by

Let me drive down the sunset boulevard

With the night's stars as my vanguard

Those feelings I can't disregard

And I left a piece of my soul with that kind of gold

How I wish that I could follow

And leave behind this lonely sorrow

I break like those California quakes

To follow along in that musical wake

Let me drive down the sunset boulevard

With the night's stars as my vanguard

Those memories I can't disregard

And I left a piece of my soul with that kind of gold

For those who move, for those who love the ride

For those like me who miss that clear ocean tide

When southern sun has set below

I wonder when I'll say hello

To that kind of gold
