Goldenrod

Andrew VanNorstrand 2018

"This song celebrates the impermanence of summertime."

Some quiet words and a warm embrace
Dirty hands and barefoot grace
You kiss me only to say goodbye
No matter how I try

Chorus:
Sometimes I think I’ve seen the face of God
When the hills shine with goldenrod

When a cool wind scatters the white milkweed
And when you’re near me
I’m sorry my dear but there’s something I need to say
Two weeks from now I’ll still be here and you’ll be far away
And I can’t let you go so soon
It’s just too soonÂ
