Golden street (Earl Kate)

People keep sayin' that I'm a little short on mercy Say my god forsaken soul will buy me things Fame and fortune pearly gates and silver wings Yeah I picked out curtains for my place on golden street People keep calling me sinner Keep calling me Wayward Saint Caught a snag along the path that they call straight Looked down and I saw that I had lost my faith Turned my back on promises I'd never break These days I'm just trying to find out what love means People keep saying I'm goin' to hell if I dont change But I sold my soul to God when I was barely eight All of Jacob's ladders couldn't rescue me All because I bought that house on golden street Built a bridge between our hearts but it was weak Little did I know it wouldnt hold my weight Now I'm fallin' fast into a great ravine Wonder when I land if I'll be on my feet These days I'm just trying to find out what love means And find my place within this crazy scene These days I'm just trying to find out what love means And find my place within this dream Father can you spare me A moment of your time Why'd you hide the answers In between the lines Life has many colors Not just black and white Why do I have questions When you're always right
