lyrics

As I stepped out into the bright sunlight,
from the darkness of the movie house.
Nature's first green is gold, her hardest hue to hold.
Early leaves a flower, but only so an hour.

Nothing gold can stay
Nothing gold can stay

I think that one of these days, you're gonna have to find out
where you wanna go, and then you gotta start going.
I can't explain what I mean, and even if I could...
I'm not sure I'd like it. I'm not sure I would.

Nothing gold can stay
Nothing gold can stay

Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief,
dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay.

Nothing gold can stay
Nothing gold can stay
