Aretha’s Gold Lyrics by Wild Sweet Orange

We Have Cause to Be Uneasy

2008

Over that new paved highway
There is a house where love was made
Not with screaming and touching
But with the records quietly spinning
And it was Aretha's "Gold"
And it was the way you told me
To just shut up and try to enjoy myself
But that I can never do
So now it's Joni's "Blue"
Oh, and dreams and dreams
And dreams and dreams of you
So if you can't treat her like a woman
Then treat her like a baby doll
Oh, and just leave her
Oh, in that bedroom
Where you watched the summer tumble and fall
Over the gardens, through the schools
She waits alone by a swimming pool
A storm is brewing in her soul
When did it start? I like to think I know
Well, it was a summer night
Her sweet aunt had just died
She turned the corner
And I knew all was about to change
And then I kissed your mouth
I felt your past somehow
Oh, and your whole life
Flashed before my eyes
So if you want to treat her like a woman
Then pick her up like a baby doll
And rock her gently
And tell her that you're sorry
And then be willing to let her go
Because you, you're as tameless as an ocean
I want to love you, but commotion
Oh, it ravages me whole
Oh, and me, I'm as dramatic as the thunder
My lightning scares her, she rolls over
Oh, yeah, she needs to get some sleep
Oh, and you, you'll be as famous as an ocean
They'll try to name you, but commotion
Oh, it'll ravage them whole
Oh, but me, I'm as dramatic as the thunder
My lightning scares her, she rolls over
Oh, yeah, she needs to get some sleep
