Luxury - The Wilderness / The Color of Gold

To Rate
Verse 1
Woke up in the wilderness
Covered my face with gold
The color of tenderness
The color of health, I am told

Packed up my bewilderment
Tied a knot I know
Opened up the furnaces
Built for when the trumpet blows

Chorus
Come on! Come on! My Lord!
Come on! Come on! My Lord!

Verse 2
There used to be a road right here
There used to be a gate that closed
Arm yourself with mеmories, dear
Carve your namе into the post

The birds are high up in the air
The sound down in the valley grows
Compass isn’t very clear
Can’t we take it nice and slow?
Chorus
Come on! Come on! My Lord!
Come on! Come on! My Lord!

Bridge
The Palisades are fine this time of year
We can spend the night out here
Around the fountains like before
Maybe everything will be alright
Maybe I can just touch your side
When the wolves are at the door
(they’re at the door!)

Chorus
Come on! Come on! My Lord!
Come on! Come on! My Lord!
Come on! Come on! My Lord!
Come on! Come on! My Lord!

Outro
Woke up in the wilderness
Covered my face with gold
The color of tenderness
The color of health, I hope
