Lyrics

[Verse 1] I pick up the paper, walk to the station Read about the writings on the wall I know when my train come Six AM, fifty-one Standin' by the track I heed the call [Chorus 1] I get on, like I always do Climb up the stairway There's sun shinin' through How long will it hang there for? Golden sun [Verse 2] I'm chippin away now, need a vacation Broken water cooler down the hall We sent them the wrong one I'll send them the right one That's very much the story of it all [Chorus 2] I shut down, baby, close up tight Lock up the doors and walk away in the night Let's give 'em what they came here for Golden sun [Verse 3] Golden sun, glow on everyone I never thought you more than a star above my head Unless you get up in the west And you make things bright I've been living with the ghost [Chorus] Golden sun [Verse 4] Neon'll call me, send in the cavalry Don't know why the ceiling's on the floor Talkin' to people, love is a spinning wheel Come around, then back out in the storm [Outro Chorus] I got a smoke, I never light Lucky you told me, God, I think that you're right It's lookin' like a beau soleil It's gonna be a real good day Nothin's gonna stand in my way Golden sun
