lyrics

You appeared through the door
In a moonlit daydream long ago
I can still name the song - when you caught my eye
Playing through the old radio
We stumbled blind through the southern states
Watched the country through your windshield
You once said, "we'll always show our sharpest teeth
While our youth is a weapon to wield"

I will never forget how you looked up there on that stage
I will remember you in your golden age.
You were stoned-drunk, barely upright as you sang, but my God you could turn a phrase
I stood in awe of you in your golden age.

Bar fights under neon lights
We never knew which way was up
You kept a wooden cross, I kept a pocket knife,
And your grandma's old ring for luck.
Shined your boots like you shined up a room
I'd watch you till my eyes were sore
You were the last blinding bright blue pilot light
Roman candle of the western world.

I fell through the floor for you in some wayward formless haze
Time carved a scar on me in your golden age
You moved with such speed and grace even the devil himself got out of the way
You were untouchable in your golden age

We give away promises in life that we can't keep
But I danced with you under lamp light, alone in an empty street

I’ve stitched up all my sorrows and bow my head in eternal thanks
Cause I witnessed you catch fire in your golden age
