lyrics

Faint and precious light
As it came into the night, I saw you
Black against the sky
Pinned between the morning sun and my eye

Before my voice comes burning right through the cold
I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know

Am I seeing what I want, or just some fool’s gold?
Am I seeing what I want, or just some fool’s gold?

Still and silent wait,
To see the sunlight bloom across the face I know
And like in all my dreams
Our eyes are just the same green, but I know

That I could only love you cause I know how
Why don’t it go, why don’t it go, why don’t it go?

I wish the feeling would leave me, but it shines like Fool’s Gold
I wish the feeling would leave me, but it
Shines on, it shines on, it shines on.

Maybe I’d always love you cause I know how
But why did I go? Why did I go? Why did I go?

I wish the feeling would leave me, but it shines like Fool’s Gold
I wish the feeling would leave me
