Sandy Denny - Gold Dust Lyrics
This is the text on the rendezvous album:If your eyes are blue you know the restChampagne if its very coolIts never very formal how you dressFor oysters by the swimming poolThen slip away into the mountainsideLike the man in the lazy eIts great to have a place where you can hideWhy you must amazes meChorusGolden,Where are you?Sold on gold dustI shuttled all around americaFrom new york to los angelesNervous breakdown later, there we wereFrom liberty to redwood treesA friend of mine, she hitched from east to westIn time to hear my final songIt seems to me she tried her very bestShe is a good companion(chorus)He stores away the moments of her smilesAs if they were rare butterfliesStalks his prey for miles and miles and milesThen barters for the merchandiseWhen life it drags the likes of me aroundJust when we need some time aloneYou have a simple mansion undergroundWithout address or telephone(chorus)The live version on the attic tracks vol. 3 and on gold dust - live at the royalty is a bit different. the last two lines of verse one are:Its nice to have a place where you can hideFor why you must amazes meAnd the last verse is:He stores away the moments of her smilesAs if they were rare butterfliesStalks his prey for miles and miles and milesAnd barters for the merchandiseAs time it drags the likes of me aroundJust when we need some time aloneYou have a private mansion undergroundWithout address or telephone
