Gold Dust Lyrics - Sandy Denny

If your eyes are blue you know the rest 

Champagne if it's very cool 

It's never very formal how you dress 

For oysters by the swimming pool 

Then slip away into the mountainside 

Like the man in the Lazy E' 

It's great to have a place where you can hide 

Why you must amazes me 

[Chorus] 

Golden, 

Where are you? 

Sold on gold dust 

I shuttled all around America 

From New York to Los Angeles 

Nervous breakdown later, there we were 

From Liberty to redwood trees 

A friend of mine, she hitched from east to west 

In time to hear my final song 

It seems to me she tried her very best 

She is a good companion 

[Chorus] 

He stores away the moments of her smiles 

As if they were rare butterflies 

Stalks his prey for miles and miles and miles 

Then barters for the merchandise 

When Life it drags the likes of me around 

Just when we need some time alone 

You have a simple mansion underground 

Without address or telephone 

[Chorus]
