We Are Turning Gold

We were high in the mountains with the moon overhead

I moved east and now Jeffrey is dead

And look at how the time has gone

She broke my heart in winter

So I traveled to the coast

Maria, her laughter is the thing I miss the most

Look at how the time has gone

We are walking through the fire

We are braving the cold

And over time we intertwine

Becoming part of each other's souls

Oh the fleeting of the time

And then one day you wake up old

And through it all we are turning gold

Judah was a writer, took his books and he moved on

And now he's just a metaphor and a verse in this song

Look at how the time has gone

Jenny was pretending and over time and by degree

And now everything has changed and Jayden is free

And look at how the time has gone

We are walking through the fire

We are braving the cold

And over time we intertwine

Becoming part of each other's souls

Oh the fleeting of the time

And then one day you wake up old

And through it all we are turning gold

Jackson was a hippie with a long winding braid

With that Volkswagen grease and that cello that he made

We'd drive through the wheat fields like the Witch of the Westmorland

I was just a driver from Cleveland to LaSalle

Making lines across America

We'd show up with our fingers and we'd give it all away

Look at how the time has gone

We are walking through the fire

We are braving the cold

And over time we intertwine

Becoming part of each other's souls

Oh the fleeting of the time

And then one day you wake up old

And through it all we are turning gold

Through it all we are turning gold
