Golden Girl

Written by:

I see in the green stream that meanders around my mind,
A girl standing with arms so warm and kind.
She reaches out - she calls my name
But I just can't get through.

I know that she's waiting, in a land of sunny rain.
And I know that I'll find my girl and it's there I will remain.
I'll lay right down, and there I'll stay
'Cause there is paradise.

I've often felt her breathing, as I rolled around your streets.
And so I look around me, but we'd never chance to meet.
The golden girl with eyes of green,
A girl just meant for me.

I see in the green stream that meanders around my mind,
A girl standing with arms so warm and kind.
She's standing there - she calls my name
But I just can't get through.
