Always gold
We were tight knit boysBrothers in more than nameYou would kill for meAnd knew that I'd do the sameAnd it cut me sharpHearing you'd gone away
But everything goes awayYeah, everything goes awayBut I'm going to be hereUntil I'm nothingBut bones in the ground
And I was there,When you grew restlessLeft in the dead of nightAnd I was thereWhen three months laterYou were standing in the doorAll beat and tiredAnd I stepped aside
Everything goes awayYeah, everything goes awayBut I'm gonna be hereUntil I'm nothingBut bones in the groundSo quiet down
We were opposites at birthI was steady as a hammerNo one worried'Cause they knew just where I'd beAnd they said you were the crooked kindAnd that you'd never have no worthBut you were always gold to me
And back when we were kidsWe swore we knew the futureAnd our words would take usHalf way 'round the worldBut I never left this townAnd you never saw New YorkAnd we ain't ever cross the sea
But I am fine with where I am nowThis home is home, and all that I needBut for you, this place is shameBut you can blame meWhen there's no one left to blame
Oh I don't mind
All my lifeI've never known where you've beenThere were holes in youThe kind that I could not mend
And I heard you sayRight when you left that dayDoes everything go away?Yeah, everything goes away
But I'm going to be here 'til foreverSo just call when you're around
