Lyrics

Backyard stands this tree of mine, hanging on to live
Mom read beneath this Golden Chain, hours we would sit
This giving tree was stable, never faulting in its stance
But now my tree is telling me, asking to forgive

Golden Chain, through my darkest days,
I’ll be looking forward to your magic all year long
Beneath your yellow drops of gold,
breath held as life unfolds
to memories, a time from once upon
remains, sweet Golden Chain

One Spring day, the 3rd of May, first blossom I saw bloom
later than remembered, felt a tiny cloud of doom
Days they passed, what should be full, looked stark and incomplete
I stood beneath that tree and cried, passing blame on sun and moon

Golden Chain, through my darkest days,
I’ll be looking forward to your magic all year long
Beneath your yellow drops of gold,
breath held as life unfolds
to memories, a time from once upon
remains, sweet Golden Chain

Giving is your nature
It’s easy to be seen
But take the time you need to rest so that you may receive

I question, was it ever there, how could I be so wrong
Was that gold imagined, its luster now long gone
Dependent on its cycle, now the fear of no return
I’ll stay loyal and give love to it, and hope it won’t be long

Golden Chain, through my darkest days,
I’ll be looking forward to your magic all year long
Beneath your yellow drops of gold,
breath held as life unfolds
new memories, the time has come
Old points of view might come undone
reflections bouncing off the sun
remain, sweet Golden Chain
Remain, sweet Golden Chain
