lyrics

4. Golden Man

I went down to the valley to watch the river flow
Somehow I forgot myself and everything I know
I came upon a giant there part spirit and part wild
His arm was made mighty
His eyes were gentle as a child

I saw a golden man
I saw a golden man

He dived into the water as deep as he could go
Spiralling through the whirlpool he moved with the flow
By the time he reached the other side the sun was sinking low
His limbs began to tremble and his chest began to glow

I saw a golden man
I saw a golden man

He shook off all his ancient wounds
He shook the hand of death
Shook the scales from his eyes ’til only gold was left
Can you see me as I am?
Do you hear me when I speak?
You love me because I’m strong
Will you love me when I’m weak?

He said once I was a soldier and I swore to serve the king
Now I fight a different war I serve a higher thing
Scion of the truth
Friend to the innocent
A voice in the wilderness
That asks you to repent

Fiery incantations
He howled at the moon
When will I see your face again ?
Soon brother, soon

I saw a golden man
I saw a golden man
I saw a golden man

Jacob's sweeping vocals never fail to captivate, delivering many a spine-tingling moment; the fluidity and precision of his finger-picking underpinned by Drinkwater's nimbly rhythmic double bass; the layers of depth a perfect counterfoil. ... more
