Green & Gold - Lianne La Havas

Six years old

Staring at my nose in the mirror

Trying to dip my toes in the mirror

Thinking 'Who's that girl?'

And 'Does the mirror world go on forever?'

Carmenia Road

Sharpening the knives in the attic

Trying to watch cartoons through the static

Thinking where am I gonna be

If I’m ever twenty-three?

Oh

I’m looking at a life unfold

Dreaming of the green and gold

Just like the ancient stone

Every sunrise I know

Those eyes you gave to me

That let me see

Where I come from

Found an old friend

Meeting my guitar in the city

Feeling like a star in the city

And suddenly it seems that I’m where I’m supposed to be, oh

And now I’m fully grown

And I’m seeing everything clearer

Just sweep away the dust from the mirror

We’re walking hand in hand on the warm white sands

I’m looking at a life unfold

Dreaming of the green and gold

Just like the ancient stone

Every sunrise I know

Those eyes you gave to me

That let me see

Where I come from

Ancient stone

Oh, green and gold

Ancient stone

Oh, green and gold

Ancient stone

Oh, green and gold

Ancient stone

Green and gold

Just like the ancient stone

Every sunrise I know

Those eyes you gave to me

That let me see

Where I come from

I’m looking at a life unfold

Dreaming of the green and gold

Just like the ancient stone

Every sunrise I know

Those eyes you gave to me

That let me see

Where I come from
