The Days Were Golden Lyrics - Live - Sunny Day Real Estate

The days were golden we were known to be 

We won't escape this memory forward on to the place we sail 

All to believe when you raise an iron hand 

This place without a song for all, the words just crawl 

Glimmering and everything another skull 

You said it was dangerous 

Found out the place where you're going 

Follow me down the path, I take your hopes I promise you this 

A dying cold world but gold, shimmering gold 

Come momma now tell me the story 

Only laughing about our gilded wasteland 

Devoured torn into pieces, come now we shine 

Small things ever calling out your name 

You hear some other time unchained alive 

A world undefined, all to be free. when you raise an open hand 

This place without a wall, the words just grow
