White Gold
Labyrinth Ear Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Looking back remembering the innocence of youth,
I can see faces and stories in the wood.

They said do you know she feeds the birds,
She has a kitten that lives in the bush,
They took my hand, back and back and back and back and back.

There were people in the wallpaper,
We had telepathic minds.
The wind spoke to me,
It spoke to me,
It spoke to me,
It spoke to me.

Cover me in white clay,
Cover me in white clay,
Cover me in white clay again.

Cover me in white clay,
Cover me in white clay,
Cover me in white clay again.

Those days,
Those days,
Those days are gone.

Will you hold my hand Lewis,
I'll be the heroine,
The courage to embrace my body again.

I want the magic to be real, Life is pure white gold,
I am Invincible, I fly, I the do magic then live the lie.

I am woman the clay, it's washed away, it's washed away.
I am woman the clay, it's washed away, it's washed away.





White gold, White gold, White gold, White gold, White gold, White gold, White gold, White gold
