Gold Faces Lyrics - Okkervil River

She is sitting on the ground 

Golden face and eyes turned down 

Arms both bare and showing some 

Golden trace of foreign sun 

And bright and tied up 'cross each wrist 

Golden bracelets that exist 

Sold so cheap they're almost free 

In golden places we've never seen 

China white and Cairo black 

There's golden face and silver back 

I have brought across the sea 

Given to my love from me 

Shut your thoughts, close out the world 

Shut your thoughts and be my girl 

Hear the screams outside the gate 

We can't stop it, it's too late

So she can have it taken, well take it all 

Try it on twirl down the hall 

Big eyed girl and gentle man 

A blank eyed beast who grabs at hand 

At a distance from the streets 

Golden friends on three bedsheets 

Lit by dusk's green golden grove 

Plummeting through golden glow
