I forgot what you looked like
I forgot your skin
I wanted to stand up
and make you a mountain.
I wanted to gather,
some stars in my hand.
And drop them before you,
like they were sand.
‘Cus I wanted you glowing,
so you could see…
what I'm seeing.
When I behold you,
but I forgot your skin
Now I'm not a rich man,
but I just had to prove,
so I gathered some gold dust,
and I flung it on you.
But you're finer than gold,
You're finer than gold.
You're finer than gold.
‘Cus gold doesn't suit you.
Not on your skin.
Like a drunk in the morning,
Just doesn't fit in.
So happy birthday,
I don't have a gift.
I spent all my money,
only have this…
You're finer than gold.
You're finer than gold.
You're finer than gold.
So now I sit here,
alone in my room.
Holding this necklace,
and thinking of you.
I just want to break it,
dig it a hole.
I know you forgive me,
‘cus how could I know?
You're finer than gold.
