[Verse 1]
Twice an era comes a knock at my door
Suspended in a window-crashing gaze of a poor
Spark of recognition, it's the thrill that dies first but
I can think of something worse: the curse, because

[Chorus]
Light up gold was the colour of something I
Was looking for
Light up gold was the colour of something I
Was looking for

[Verse 2]
Steady was the pace kept in that tear-leaking sway
Sifting like a miner in the conscience debris
Hunched down, gleaning embers from a burning field
Trying to find something warm and real because

[Chorus]
Light up gold was the colour of something I
Was looking for
Light up gold was the colour of something I
Was looking for

[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Yeah, light up gold was the colour of something I
Was looking for
Light up gold was the colour of something I
Was looking for
