Lianne La Havas - Green & Gold lyrics

Six years old Staring at my nose in the mirror Trying to dip my toes in the mirror Thinking 'Who's that girl?' And 'Does the mirror world go on forever?' Calmly you roll Sharpening the knives in the attic Trying to watch cartoons through the static Thinking where am I gonna be If I'm ever twenty-three? Oh I'm looking at a life unfold Dreaming of the green and gold Just like the ancient stone Every sunrise I know Those eyes you gave to me That let me see Where I come from Found an old friend Meeting my guitar in the city Feeling like a star in the city And suddenly it seems that I'm where I'm supposed to be, oh And now I'm fully grown And I'm seeing everything clearer Just sweep away the dust from the mirror We're walking hand in hand on the warm white sands I'm looking at a life unfold Dreaming of the green and gold Just like the ancient stone Every sunrise I know Those eyes you gave to me That let me see Where I come from Ancient stone Oh, green and gold Ancient stone Oh, green and gold Ancient stone Oh, green and gold Ancient stone Green and gold I'm looking at a life unfold Dreaming of the green and gold Just like the ancient stone Every sunrise I know Those eyes you gave to me That let me see Where I come from I'm looking at a life unfold Dreaming of the green and gold Just like the ancient stone Every sunrise I know Those eyes you gave to me That let me see Where I come from
