Tears of Gold Lyrics
One day we are young
And by the next one we are old despite the years
The tears of gold precede the rapture
Time has its way with everyone
In its path, she combs her hair
And tears of gold fall on the grave
Tears of gold
Tears of golden restraint
As evidence of the pain that we feel inside
Maryann settle down, let's bring the band around, how ‘bout?
And we’ll sing you to Heaven and back
Laura-Lee sets the food out on the tabletop for us
And when she asked Maryann to say grace
Maryann settles down wiping tears of gold from her face
Tears of gold
Where we are strong by tomorrow we will go weak and disappear
Our families all gather round to remember
Where we are flesh and blood, by the next one
We are just ??? under the wheels
Without a love, we are only ashen birds of silver
And tears of gold
Tears of golden restraint
As evidence of the pain that she feels
Tears of gold
Tears of gold promise the rapture that heals the soul
Replace the tears of gold with music, and laughter
Tears of gold
Tears of gold
And by the next one we are old despite the years
The tears of gold precede the rapture
Time has its way with everyone
In its path, she combs her hair
And tears of gold fall on the grave
Tears of gold
Tears of golden restraint
As evidence of the pain that we feel inside
And we’ll sing you to Heaven and back
Laura-Lee sets the food out on the tabletop for us
And when she asked Maryann to say grace
Maryann settles down wiping tears of gold from her face
Tears of gold
Our families all gather round to remember
Where we are flesh and blood, by the next one
We are just ??? under the wheels
Without a love, we are only ashen birds of silver
And tears of gold
Tears of golden restraint
As evidence of the pain that she feels
Tears of gold
Tears of gold promise the rapture that heals the soul
Replace the tears of gold with music, and laughter
Tears of gold
Tears of gold

Sounds like "where we are DUST under the wheels" not "just"
beautiful song. makes me think of death and how its sad, but it's also hopeful that there is more than just whats here right now.
"Without a love, we are only ashen birds of silver"
should actually be: "w/o a love, we're only ash in URNS of silver"
and yes needles, it is "dust"
"Time has its way with everyone."
Ain't that the truth.
"time waits for no man"
