A Golden Age Songtext

von The Waterboys

I heard a rumour of a Golden Age
And the stage is getting set
I heard a rumour of a Golden Age
And the stage is getting set
I heard a rumour of a Golden Age
In song, on screen and printed page
And all the world will be its stage
And the stage is getting set

I've seen the glow of a Golden Dawn
And the Dawn is coming through
I've seen the glow of a Golden Dawn
And the Dawn is coming through
I've seen the glow of a Golden Dawn
That all will wake to gaze upon
And though the night is hard and long
The Dawn is coming through

I've felt the wind behind my heels
And it feels good to me
I've felt the wind behind my heels
And it feels good to me
I've felt the wind behind my heels
My Soul fired up like catherine wheels
And I'm never gonna forget how it feels
And it feels good to me

I stood on the side of a shimmering sea
Saw a Ship come sailing in
I stood on the side of a shimmering sea
Saw a Ship come sailing in
I stood on the side of a shimmering sea
Cried "Lord, I surrender", fell on my knees
And Love arose in the heart of me
And the Ship came sailing in

Dublin January 1986
