"Golden Age" Lyrics

Find out who you are
Down at the hotel bar
A moment or a few
Down at 4 Rue d'Anjou

With nothing on your mind
Frozen there in time
The light is slightly blue
Sacrosanct and true

Kisses and champagne
The high life and the pain
You know it all so well
'til morning breaks the spell

But when the sun is new
It rises just for you
The nightingale still sings
And beats its tender wings

The night it falls
The day it breaks
Your tears they drop
Your heart it aches
But then you recall
You don't regret a single day

In this Golden Age
In this Golden Age
In this Golden Age
In this Golden Age

You don't have to try
To get it so right
When the day defeats
You look to the night

Aging dandy boys
And flapper girls, too
Snuff out your despair
Like a smoke under your shoe

The night it falls
The day it breaks
Your tears they drop
Your heart it aches
But then you recall
You don't regret a single day
The night it falls
The day it breaks
Your tears they drop
Your heart it aches
But then you recall
You don't regret a single day

In this Golden Age
In this Golden Age
In this Golden Age
In this Golden Age

You don't have to try
To get it so right
When the day defeats
Just look to the night

Aging dandy boys
And flapper girls, too
Snuff out your despair
This time belongs to you

The night it falls
The day it breaks
Your tears they drop
Your heart it aches
But then you recall
You don't regret a single day
The night it falls
The day it breaks
Your tears they drop
Your heart it aches
But then you recall
You don't regret a single day

In this Golden Age
