Painting my Wall Gold

i’m painting my wall gold
it started with just one word
to honour your memory
now the wall is all covered

i’m painting my wall gold
trying to unfold
the colour that lies beyond
this cracked white plastered wall

crazy girl
gracious queen
nothing in this world
is quite what it seems

i’m painting my wall gold
watching your shadow form
dancing around
like so many times before

those were our young years
when we were in school
you’d be miles up the street
i’d run to catch up to you

i still walk that empty road
why did you have to go
i won’t hold you again
we won’t be growing old

nothing can be done
nothing can be changed
nowhere left to run
and noone left to blame …X2

i’m painting my walls gold
i’m painting them all gold
like a life-size award
a tribute to your worth

i’m painting my walls gold
it started with just one word
to honor your memory
now the walls are all covered
