"Golden Thread" lyrics

Two boys riding in a pickup truck
Watching the world roll away from us
Wind so loud you had to shout above it
Smiling because we couldn't get enough of it

Lay me down and sing to me again
Shut my eyes with a song that will never end
Write it on my mind with that golden thread
There's somethings you don't forget

Looking at you from across the bedroom
Naked as the day that the good lord made you
Standing like a dream in the morning sun
You can take me now lord I've had a good run

Lay me down and sing to me again
Shut my eyes with a song that will never end
Write it on my mind with that golden thread
There's somethings you don't forget

Teach me how to shut my mouth, shut my mouth
Teach me how to shut my mouth, shut my mouth
A newborn baby in an old man's hands
The daddy of a daddy made young again
The unknown roads and turns in the dark
Are no match for the drum of a beating heart

Lay me down and sing to me again
Shut my eyes with a song that will never end
Write it on my mind with that golden thread
There's somethings you don't forget
