Prefab Sprout - The Golden Calf Lyrics
Once upon a time I stalked the streets on raining eveningsWhen the distant sea blended with the skyPast coliseums filled with brass on pavements carved from toasted glassI carried in my heart a word or twoYou dashing horseman all gone awayLeft you a stable bill to payAnd now the golden calf has turned to clayAll my feelings dressed in glovesCouldnt touch your windswept harbour loveWhite and open-necked you would still playId resort to sleepwalking to catch the mood that fills the sailsWith harvest nets and tides dont ever bringBut every night was halloween, and every friend fell in betweenAnd how capricious nature ruled my mindYou dashing horseman all gone awayLeft you a stable bill to payAnd now the golden calf has turned to clayAll my feelings dressed in glovesCouldnt touch your windswept harbour loveWhite and open-necked you would still playOnce upon a time I stalked the streets on raining eveningsWhen the distant sea blended with the skyPast coliseums filled with brass on pavements carved from toasted glassI carried in my heart a word or twoBut you would always make me see todayYou dashing horseman all gone awayLeft you a stable bill to payAnd now the golden calf has turned to clayAll my feelings dressed in glovesCouldnt touch your windswept harbour loveWhite and open-necked you would still playI sound so different these days, I barely can believe Im hereIf I didnt know better, I would swear I was someone elseLord I cant believe, I dont believe Im meBut who on earth could I be ?You dashing horseman all gone awayLeft you a stable bill to payAnd now the golden calf has turned to clayAll my feelings dressed in glovesCouldnt touch your windswept harbour loveWhite and open-necked you would still play
