Glitters Like Gold (Movement 2)
©Jerry Axson

You left me behind,
a long time ago,
and what did you find -
you didn't already know?
It glitters like gold,
when you stare into it,
you’re a little round peg,
just aching to fit...Lord, you’re aching to fit...
and you never will...

So I messed up your plans,
to get out of this town,
you were aiming so high,
couldn't see you were down,
that’s when I opened my eyes,
and took a good look at you,
then something inside -
told me that we were through...Yes, yes, we were through...
bye, bye, baby...

I lay wounded and spent,
beneath a great Dogwood tree,
I gazed up at the sun,
and he smiled down on me,
as the blossoms did fall,
against a sky so blue,
I took my release -
now I’m free from you...
Yes, I’m free from you...
now I’m free from you...
yes, I’m free from you...
