Backyard stands this tree of mine
Hanging on to live
Mom read beneath this Golden Chain
Hours we would sit
This giving tree was stable
Never faulting in its stance
But now my tree is telling me
Asking to forgive
Golden Chain
Through my darkest days
I'll be looking forward to your magic all year long
Beneath your yellow drops of gold
Breath held as life unfolds
To memories, a time from once upon
Remain
Sweet Golden Chain
One Spring day, the 3rd of May
First blossom I saw bloom
Later than remembered
Felt a tiny cloud of doom
Days they passed, what should be full
Looked stark and incomplete
I stood beneath that tree and cried
Passing blame on sun and moon
Golden Chain
Through my darkest days
I'll be looking forward to your magic all year long
Beneath your yellow drops of gold
Breath held as life unfolds
To memories, a time from once upon
Remain
Sweet Golden Chain
Giving is your nature
It's easy to be seen
But take the time you need to rest so that you may receive
I question, was it ever there
How could I be so wrong
Was that gold imagined
Its luster now long gone
Dependent on its cycle
Now the fear of no return
I'll stay loyal and give love to it, and
Hope it won't be long
Golden Chain
Through my darkest days
I'll be looking forward to your magic
All year long
Beneath your yellow drops of gold
Breath held as life unfolds
New memories, the time has come
Old points of view might come undone
Reflections bouncing off the sun remain
Sweet Golden Chain
Remain
Sweet Golden Chain
