willie nile - golden down lyrics

[verse 1]
out in the filth and the restless mud
where hungry strangers are bound
down the road in the flesh and blood
a certain gentleness can be found
through the hours of the naked evening
while the faceless disappear
she will surely have you believing
as she whispers softly in your ear

[chorus]
golden down, golden down
put a smile on this lonely town
golden light, golden bright
won’t you hold me in your arms tonight

[verse 2]
on the pavement in a silver dress
what fine ladies might call a gown
another night, another sweet caress
the lace of your empire coming down
street princess on a throne of cream
high priestess of the multitude
fallen angel in a madman’s dream
look how he hovers over you
[chorus]
golden down, golden down
put a smile on this lonely town
golden light, golden bright
won’t you hold me in your arms tonight

[bridge 1]
the men will come from miles around
country temples and the factories
the pretty rich boys from their suites uptown
all would have you gladly on your knees

[verse 3]
some would sneer as they pass you by
laugh and snicker at the rags you wear
curse the very ground you magnify
some would run their fingers through your hair

[chorus]
golden down, golden down
put a smile on this lonely town
golden light, golden bright
won’t you hold me in your arms tonight

[bridge 2]
tears don’t fall, they teem
dream, sweet princess, dream
[verse 4]
the hour’s late, smoke is heavy
a drunken sailor is coming to
the whiskey’s straight, the spirit’s ready
the boys in the backroom are calling you
but the night is long, your bones are weary
you need a drink someplace to lie
the earth may turn but while your near me
just give me one last kiss goodbye

[chorus]
golden down, golden down
put a smile on this lonely town
golden light, golden bright
won’t you hold me in your arms tonight
golden down, golden down
put a smile on this lonely town
golden light, golden bright
won’t you hold me in your arms tonight
