Once You Had Gold Lyrics
Once you had gold,
Once you had silver,
Then came the rains
Out of the blue.
Ever and always.
Always and ever.
Time gave both darkness and dreams to you.
Now you can see
Spring becomes autumn,
Leaves become gold
Falling from view.
Ever and always.
Always and ever.
No-one can promise a dream come true,
Time gave both darkness and dreams to you.
What is the dark;
Shadows around you,
Why not take heart
In the new day?
Ever and always.
Always and ever.
No-one can promise a dream for you,
Time gave both darkness and dreams to you.
Once you had silver,
Then came the rains
Out of the blue.
Ever and always.
Always and ever.
Time gave both darkness and dreams to you.
Spring becomes autumn,
Leaves become gold
Falling from view.
Ever and always.
Always and ever.
No-one can promise a dream come true,
Time gave both darkness and dreams to you.
Shadows around you,
Why not take heart
In the new day?
Ever and always.
Always and ever.
No-one can promise a dream for you,
Time gave both darkness and dreams to you.

People have hopes and people have darkness in their lives.
IMO it sounds like gold and silver (especially with the sense of the tune) are very much reminiscent of fantasy and dream, it makes me think of the dreams and mindset of an innocent childhood, before the realities (the rain) of life were fully comprehended.
With those things came the death of the early 'Golden Age' (darkness), but with them also came the depth needed for true greatness (dreams)
