The one where they're kissin' and color them gold Ooh I have this fear that I've been wasting precious days Sleeping, breathing, letting the hours slip away I long for the desert and the clearest starry skies I want to live, I want to be feelin' alive Will these dark tears follow me wherever I choose to go? The one where they're kissin' and color them gold Color them gold (Ah) Ooh-ooh, color them gold Ooh-ooh, color them gold Ah, color them gold Ooh-ooh, ah-ooh Ah-ooh (Ah), mm
