Cataldo - Gilded Oldies lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

Something inside of you says “don’t make a sound.”

So you lay quiet until a darkness falls

And you get the feeling there is no one around.

You slip your hand inside your shirt to feel

a heart that’s wondering

(Chorus)

What awaits you and who’ll wait up to meet you now

That you have polished off the drinking story?

What awaits you and who’ll wait up to meet you now

That you are jacked up on the gilded oldies?

(Verse)

I thought I’d let you know that I have eloped

With new ideas on how the ending works

And I’m a big boy so I had to let them go

But all God’s creatures have their bridge to burn:

this is mine smoldering

(Chorus)

What awaits you and who’ll wait up to meet you now

That you have polished off the drinking story?

What awaits you and who’ll wait up to meet you now

That you are jacked up on the gilded oldies?

(Verse)

I ask the room if it can hang tough

But the room won’t confirm or deny

If it is cool to play this off the cuff

So I will sit on my hands, a lack of action is one way to decide

(What a way to, a way to wait out that black night)

Yes, it’s a long walk with your map still folded

(I squint my eyes, it’s true, to see things written in the sky)

(Cuz we’re both jacked up on the gilded oldies)
