Gold Dust

I write down your name
Conjure you from air
That feeds the flame
That maybe flickers
But it will not flame out
And like the strokes of my pen
Permanent Permanent
We were blooming buds
Opening in rain
We shared the pain
A thousand questions
Could inflict on us
And we shrugged if off
Because we were so young
Cannot erase a single word of us
Cannot be added on an abacus
A code that no one here can crack in us
Cannot erase a single word of us
Cannot be added on an abacus
A code that no one here can crack in us
Gone around the bend
Found that we don't break
Found we could take
The flecks of doubt that
Fly up in our faces
That we can fly though
And come up aces
Cannot erase a single word of us
Cannot be added on an abacus
A code that no one here can crack in us
Cannot erase a single word of us
Cannot be added on an abacus
A code that no one here can crack in us
Knowing what one needs
Hardest thing to know
Especially in a state
Of luxury and waste
How different if maybe
We were misplaced
Oh, we were misplaced
Cannot erase a single word of us
Cannot be added on an abacus
A code that no one here can crack in us
