Golden Year

There were so many days

just me and my stereo

Somehow I found a way

to connect when I was so remote

I was captivated

My minds etchings of you

I was so tuned into your every word

it seems it pulled me through

That was a golden year

I miss Nathalie, your tales evoked

such feelings that I never spoke of

That was a golden year

with Robbie, Bent, and Café del Mar

playing backdrop to a world too far away

Read and wrote into the nights

Even a story just for you

So many subplots in my mind

So little time to make them all come true

Like a shooting star,

you blink to find that it’s long gone

I picked up after a fall to find that you,

you had moved on

That was a golden year

I miss Nathalie, your tales evoked

such feelings that I never spoke of

That was a golden year

with Robbie, Bent, and Café del Mar

playing backdrop to a world too far away

Away

That was a golden year

I miss Nathalie, your tales evoked

such feelings that I never spoke of

That was a golden year

with Robbie, Bent, and Café del Mar

playing backdrop to a world too far

That was a golden year

Even with the tears and all the heartache

I knew riches that no hand made

That was a golden year
