And I hope that when the sun shines you'll bathe in gold Gold like my mum's marigold Gold like my old man's walking through the sand after dipping his toes Gold out in Silverado The mountains tumble and roll The leaves in the trees they flow In the breeze that blows Gold like this Marlborough high glow Yeah, and I trust that you're fine You can hold your own and I'll hold mine Yeah, and this ocean between us I dreamt of swimming it time after time You see my best friend moved to California And I can hardly blame him for that He said he skates down the beach And the air smells like coconuts I can hardly blame him for that Sometimes we're struggling to write back If only I could get a plane, lean back and lift off That driftwood on the sea we could drift off And pick up once again from where we left off And like driftwood from the sea we could drift off And pick up once again from where we left off And pick up once again from where we left off And pick up once again from where we left off And pick up once again from where we left off And pick up once again from where we left off
