One day we are young

 And by the next one we are old despite the years

 The tears of gold precede the rapture

Time has its way with everyone

 In its path she combs her hair

Tears of gold fall on the grave

Tears of gold

Tears of golden restraint

 Is evidence of the pain that she feels inside

Maryann settle down lets bring the bed around, how ‘bout?

 And we’ll sing you to heaven and back

Laura-lee sets the food down on the tabletop for us

 And when she asked Maryann to say grace

Maryann settles down.. wiping tears of gold from her face

Tears of gold

Tears of golden restraint

 Is evidence of the pain that she feels

Tears of gold

Tears of gold precede the rapture and healed her soul

 Replace the tears of gold with music & laughter

Tears of gold

Tears of gold.....
