Gold and Yellow Lyrics
Gold and yellow, Mermaid of the southern sea
Open up your honeyed lips and speak Spanish to me
Mi hormiga y mi tia y mis primas argentinas
Your dress is wet from the grass
And you give the bottle a pass
Oh, ashes to ashes and gold to gold
The night is over before I'm tired and we grow cold
Motorcycle jacket and a pair of boots
From back when all the cowboys of Brooklyn had the blues
When I look into your eyes I can tell that you've been crying
I'm gonna give the drummer his due
After I've had a few
Oh sweet Baby Jesus, come and hold my hand
I know you told me, I tried so hard to understand
Drive all night and listen to the gamelan
And one thousand bells are ringing as we make it to the dawn
All a tremble and a shiver as you climb out of the river
And we sing a lullahello to our friends from long ago
Oh satin is satin and gold is gold
I come unraveled, you come unfastened
And we take hold
Open up your honeyed lips and speak Spanish to me
Mi hormiga y mi tia y mis primas argentinas
And you give the bottle a pass
Oh, ashes to ashes and gold to gold
The night is over before I'm tired and we grow cold
From back when all the cowboys of Brooklyn had the blues
When I look into your eyes I can tell that you've been crying
After I've had a few
Oh sweet Baby Jesus, come and hold my hand
I know you told me, I tried so hard to understand
And one thousand bells are ringing as we make it to the dawn
All a tremble and a shiver as you climb out of the river
Oh satin is satin and gold is gold
I come unraveled, you come unfastened
And we take hold
