Once You Had Gold

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.
