` Music && Soul v.52; Sam Sparro

Album Cover: Sam Sparro - Sam Sparro
=============================================
Song Lyrics: Sam Sparro - Black and Gold

If the fish swam out of the ocean
And grew legs and they started walking
And the apes climbed down from the trees
And grew tall and they started talking

And the stars fell out of the sky
And my tears rolled into the ocean
Now I'm looking for a reason why
You even set my world into motion

[Chorus]:
'Cause if you're not really here
Then the stars don't even matter
Now I'm filled to the top with fear
But it's all just a bunch of matter
'Cause if you're not really here
I don't want be either
I want to be, next to you
Black and gold
Black and gold
Black and gold

I looked up into the night sky
And see a thousand eyes staring back
And all around these golden beacons
I see nothing but black

I feel a way of something beyond them
And I don't see what I can feel
If vision is the only validation
Then most of my life isn't real

[Repeat chorus]

I want to be next to you
Black and gold
Black and gold
Black and gold

[Repeat chorus]
