Goldenrod Songtext
von Jenny Owen Youngs

Remember we got so lost
Up at your parents′ place
Out in the goldenrod
With the sun on your face

We wandered around all day
Shot off some flares at night
Drinking 'til we felt saved
But you know we were right, now

I′ll never say goodbye to you, oh-oh-oh
I never thought that I'd have to
I'll never say goodbye to you
I don′t know how
I don′t know how

We'd go driving around downtown
Smoking in parking lots
And letting the ash burn down
On the ones we forgot


Just taking the back roads fast
Singing and laughing loud
With the radio always on, and
Fading in, fading out, now

I′ll never say goodbye to you, oh-oh-oh
I never thought that I'd have to
I′ll never say goodbye to you
I don't know how
I don′t know how

Oh, the way that you looked into me then
I could put a frame around it
I could hang it up
Oh, the way that you sang it to me then
I'm listening, but I'm out of luck

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Nah, nah, nah-nah-nah-nah
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Mm, mm-hmm

You never felt a thing
That′s what the paper said
Your sister just losing it
And the street glowing red


As soon as the call came in
I got the hell out of town
I couldn′t stand to see them
Put you into the ground

I'll never say goodbye to you, oh-oh-oh
I never thought that I′d have to
I'll never say goodbye to you
I don′t know how
I don't know how
