Always Gold

We were tight knit boys

Brothers in more then name

You would kill for me

And knew that I'd do the same

And it cut me sharp

Hearing you'd gone away

But everything goes away

Yeah everything goes away

But I'm going to be here until I'm nothing

But bones in the ground

And I was there, when you grew restless

Left in the dead of night

And I was there, when three months later

You were standing in the door all beat and tired

And I stepped aside

Everything goes away

Yeah everything goes away

But I'm gonna be here until I'm nothing

But bones in the ground

So quiet down

We were opposites at birth

I was steady as a hammer

No one worried 'cause they knew just where I'd be

And they said you were the crooked kind

And that you'd never have no worth

But you were always gold to me

And back when we were kids

We swore we knew the future

And our words would take us half way 'round the world

But I never left this town

And you never saw New York

And we ain't ever cross the sea

But I am fine with where I am now

This home is home, and all that I need

But for you, this place is shame

But you can blame me when there's no one left to blame

Oh I don't mind

All my life

I've never known where you've been

There were holes in you

The kind that I could not mend

And I heard you say

Right when you left that day

Does everything go away?

Yeah, everything goes away.

But I'm going to be here 'til forever

So just call when you're around.
