Everyone had sailed away
And left the rest of us behind
I would sit along the shore and
Watch the turning of the tides
But then a ripple in the water
Grew into a crashing wave
So I held my breath and
Let the current wash me far away
And I keep thinking...
Hey now, hey now
Let it go
The golden age feels like a life ago
While I gaze into the darkness
High above the city lights
There's a busker on the corner
Playing softly to the night
In this town I've loved forever
I will hum its favourite songs
There's a clock tower that keeps chiming
And my heart beats right along
Yeah, I keep thinking...
Hey now, hey now
Let it go
The golden age feels like a life ago
Hey now, hey now
Let it go
The golden age feels like a life ago
Hey now, hey now
Let it go
The golden age feels like a life ago
Hey now, hey now
Let it go
The golden age feels like a life ago
Let my body float
Down the river to my home
For every colour turned to grey
Gild a lily and see it gleam
In a golden age
A new golden age
