Gold Rush Lyrics - Changing Light - Mirah

Oh love when I get lonesome 

I'm gonna call you up into my world 

When waters rise up I do my best 

To keep my home floating upon your chest 

Oh love when I get lonesome 

I'm gonna grow you up like you deserve 

You'll be a big tree, branching up around me 

I'll be your baby, cradle me safely 

Come on and hold me like I'm your girl 

And I'll hold you like I'm your girl 

In this the ending of the world 

After the gold rush shook off the gold dust 

After we'd taken more than god had meant for us 

We dammed up plenty but still felt empty 

The land was rich but we left it poor 

I've spent a fine sum, but I will share 

I know you're thirsty and unprepared 

When I wet my lips with love you'll feel me there 

But then I'll run from you 'cause I'm scared 

And I've trained myself to run this way I've trained myself to fly 

And I've dragged you all this way without an understanding why 

And I'm holding on to nothing - oh, I know that hurt your pride 

I just thought I could keep you from the loss of having to say goodbye 

But there's nothing ever saving us from that we're gonna die 

There's nothing ever saving us from that we're gonna die 

Come see my wide eyes, behold my wild mind 

I love you, leave you here by my blindside 

But when 14 feet came on a flood tide 

I still tried to keep us up, to hold us high 

And I never meant to put you down 

But this disaster that came through town 

Rose up the sea and tunnels drowned 

My boats broke free and battered you 'round 

But if you hold me like I'm your girl 

I'll still hold you like I'm your girl 

In this the ending of the world 

In this the ending of the world
