Golden Down est une chanson en Anglais
Out in the filth and the restless mud
Where hungry strangers are bound
Down the road in the flesh and blood
A certain gentleness can be found
Through the hours of the naked evening
While the faceless disappear
She will surely have you believing
As she whispers softly in your ear
Golden Down, Golden Down
Put a smile on this lonely town
Golden Light, Golden Bright
Won't you hold me in your arms tonight
On the pavement in a silver dress
What fine ladies might call a gown
Another night, another sweet caress
The lace of your empire coming down
Street princess on a throne of cream
High priestess of the multitude
Fallen angel in a madman's dream
Look how he hovers over you
Golden Down, Golden Down
Put a smile on this lonely town
Golden Light, Golden Bright
Won't you hold me in your arms tonight
The men will come from miles around
Country temples and the factories
The pretty rich boys from their suites uptown
All would have you gladly on your knees
Some would sneer as they pass you by
Laugh and snicker at the rags you wear
Curse the very ground you magnify
Some would run their fingers through your hair
Golden Down, Golden Down
Put a smile on this lonely town
Golden Light, Golden Bright
Won't you hold me in your arms tonight
Tears don't fall, they teem
Dream, sweet princess, dream
The hour's late, smoke is heavy
A drunken sailor is coming to
The whiskey's straight, the spirit's ready
The boys in the backroom are calling you
But the night is long, your bones are weary
You need a drink someplace to lie
The earth may turn but while your near me
Just give me one last kiss goodbye
Golden Down, Golden Down
Put a smile on this lonely town
Golden Light, Golden Bright
Won't you hold me in your arms tonight
Golden Down, Golden Down
Put a smile on this lonely town
Golden Light, Golden Bright
Won't you hold me in your arms tonight
