lyrics

Soft as Gold

So this is what we hungered for
The grand romantic longing
Young girl with your broomstick groom
And boy with dream-spun drawings

We burrowed deep, deep down
We mined each other’s hearts, but still we came up empty
I nearly stripped you bare
I nearly killed this cave’s canary

Truth is, I knew our weaker beams
Would crumble under pressure
But I hold that what’s pure will shine
Once it’s run through the thresher

Our love is soft as gold
It takes a beating and a burning to define it
The strongest wedding band
Is melted down first to refine it

Our love
Our love is not a perfect love
But our love, my love,
Could point us to that love
In love, my love, we made a promise, love.
So our love is more than just the feeling of
Desire
