Austin Riva - Goldenrods & Cottonwood Lyrics

I see him in the depth of history
With power and mystery, where's he's free
I see him in the pages of a book
Surrealism look, the earth shook

When he went away, the pages all went blank
The streets and gardens stank, miss his face
When we went away, we looked into the eyes
Of the darkness of surprise, prayed for lies

But he don't deserve a cliché
Simple words fail what to say
Everything we say just feels wrong
Who am I to sing your song?

All the clouds hid the world tonight
Find your rainbow road, leave a trail of light

I see him standing on the road
With glimpses of Rimbaud in his soul
I see him on a silver movie screen
Like he's back at 17, it still stings

When he went away, the roads all turned to dust
Diamonds turned to rust, oh dreams crushed
When he went away, the screens all turned to black
This time he's never coming back, heart attack

All the clouds hid the world tonight
Find your rainbow road, leave a trail of light

Fly away and be free, somewhere no one can see
We'll still be watching for you way down here
Goldenrods and Cottonwood and old CDs, everything good
I miss you much but see you soon

I carry your heart with me
I carry it in my heart, I am never without it
Anywhere I go, you go
Here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
And the sky of the sky of a tree called life
