Truly Golden

I wait for her to speak for me

The rule is truly golden

I am spoken for



A drifting day on my own

He does chastise these bones

And he gives a woman's touch

A drifting day alone

He does chastise his own

He gives a woman's touch



We are all pleased to dwell

With me, with me

Out of their goodness

And over my head

Burning coals of kindness

Over my head, over my head



I spin with the world

But it is no help to me

I sleep in this chair like a stone

A yellow flower has grown

He does chastise his own love

He gives a woman's touch



To spin with the world

It is no help to me

I walk the creaking floors of this home

Where a yellow flower has grown

It's his love is shown

He gives a woman's touch
