[00:06.78]Songs Title:the golden boy
[00:09.03]
[00:45.28]The boy had a way with words, he sang, he moved with grace
[00:48.46]
[00:49.08]He entertained so naturally, no gesture out of place
[00:53.33]His road in life was clearly drawn, he didn't hesistate
[00:57.52]He played, they saw, he conquered as the master of his fate.
[01:04.22]The girl had an iron soul no-one could recognise
[01:12.10]
[01:12.91]Material ambition that her gentleness disguised
[01:18.10]
[01:19.16]She gave herself to him certain of his fame
[01:23.85]
[01:25.16]Wanted him for luxury, for limelight and his name.
[01:31.16]
[01:34.41]And then he sang to her
[01:36.60]
[01:41.91]I love you for your silence
[01:44.97]
[01:46.85]I love you for your peace
[01:50.97]
[01:53.66]The still and calm releases
[01:57.16]
[01:59.41]That sweep into my soul
[02:02.04]
[02:03.29]That slowly take control
[02:06.18]
[02:08.68]I love you for your passion
[02:12.36]
[02:14.30]I love you for your fire
[02:17.86]
[02:20.24]The violent desire
[02:24.68]
[02:26.30]That burns me in it's flame
[02:29.23]
[02:29.99]A love I dare not name
[02:32.80]
[02:34.73]His rise was irresistable - he grew into the part
[02:39.73]
[02:41.35]His explanation simply that he suffered for his art
[02:46.10]
[02:47.10]No base considerations of some glittering reward
[02:51.79]
[02:52.91]The prize was knowing that his work was noticed and adored
[02:59.54]
[03:02.48]I love you for your silence
[03:05.54]
[03:07.66]I love you for your peace
[03:11.54]
[03:13.97]The still and calm releases
[03:17.41]
[03:20.41]That sweep into my soul
[03:21.97]
[03:23.35]That slowly take control
[03:27.04]
[03:31.10]Yes he told the truth
[03:33.04]
[03:34.54]Accepting every honour with a masterly display
[03:40.03]
[03:41.35]Of well rehearsed reluctance to be singled out this way
[03:46.66]
[03:47.22]He started to believe that he was all they said and more
[03:52.09]
[03:53.09]While she forgot - she forgot the reasons she had wanted him before
[04:00.09]
[04:01.47]I love you for your passion
[04:05.53]
[04:06.47]I love you for your fire
[04:12.13]
[04:14.38]The violent desire
[04:16.44]
[04:17.31]That burns me in it's flame
[04:21.51]A love I dare not name
[04:26.68]
[04:29.87]The still and calm releases
[04:33.12]
[04:35.30]That sweep into my soul
[04:38.30]
[04:40.18]That slowly take control
[04:57.86]
[05:04.54]And when at last they fell apart she wished that she could be
[05:12.85]The hardened heart of yesterday, as cynical as he.
[05:17.54]By changing for the better, she had changed things for the worse.
[05:23.91]The words that made them happy once now echoed ... echoed as a curse.
