Golden Thread

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
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
