Golden Light

Peter Mayer/Jay Oliver

A painted sky is fading, come and take my hand
For all the roads you travel only this will stand
Pick up what is precious make light your load

‘Cause whistle trains keep rollin’
Airplanes they fly
Anchor chains are risin’ we must

Chorus
Sail on to the golden light
Where the rusty red horizon is fallin’
The do’s of the day surrender to the night
And we all come together in the golden light

Set these moments in your heart however great or small
The first rose of summer the last leaf to fall
Keep on singing that first song (the one) that claims you after all

‘Cause whistle trains keep rollin’
Appear then pass on by
‘Round the bend tomorrow’s calling

Chorus
Carry on the golden light
Where the rusty red horizon is callin’
And all of your trouble all of your strife
In the last light they are golden
