Gilded

Gilded (镀金) - Jade Jackson

There was a time when I was young

I'd lie in the tall grass and stare at the sun

Nothing to do but dig in the dirt

Long before my heart learned how to hurt

But you took those young days from me

Unlatched the cage set the wild bird free

Your once golden heart gilded her wings

Sent her flying to fall beneath

White are the mountains that hold up the sky

The river is frozen the wells running dry

I stood in the bed where our flowers have died

You stole the rose color out of my eyes

Yeah you took those young days from me

Unlatched the cage set the wild bird free

Then your silver tongue gilded her wings

Sent her flying to fall beneath

You took those young days from me

Unlatched the cage set the wild bird free

Then your silver tongue gilded her wings

Sent her flying to fall beneath

Yeah you took those young days from me

Unlatched the cage set the wild bird free

Your once golden heart gilded her wings

Sent her flying to fall beneath
