Dancing in Gold Lyrics by The von Trapps

Dancing in Gold

2015

[Verse 1]
How many times
Does it take to learn
The further I hold my heart out
The harder it burns
Even though I could try to protect my soul
By turning my heart to stone
I'm better dead than alone
[Bridge]
Love doesn't make our lives easier at all
It can only make it worth the time
[Chorus]
Dancing in Gold
God knows we're cut but we're whole
You can't sell your youth for control
Not if you want to grow old
Run and return
Freeze, turn and learn how to burn
You got to fight to keep soul
When you're dancing in gold
[Verse 2]
Even though it's good to be clean as snow
You'd better be dreading karma
When the heads roll
Is it gambling with the precious few important things
While I'm dancing, still I'm trembling
I still have a home
How much would you risk to find the truth
And how far would you go to know it's through
[Chorus]
Dancing in gold
God knows we're cut but we're whole
You can't sell your youth for control
Not if you want to grow old
Run and return
Freeze, turn and learn how to burn
You got to fight to keep soul
When you're dancing in gold
Dancing in gold
God knows we're cut but we're whole
You can't sell your youth for control
You gotta wait to grow old
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah aaaaahhhh
