  • Six years old
    Staring at my nose in the mirror
    Trying to dip my toes in the mirror
    Thinking 'Who's that girl?'
    And 'Does the mirror world go on forever?'
    Calmly you roll
    Sharpening the knives in the attic
    Trying to watch cartoons through the static
    Thinking where am I gonna be
    If I'm ever twenty-three? Oh

    I'm looking at a life unfold
    Dreaming of the green and gold
    Just like the ancient stone
    Every sunrise I know
    Those eyes you gave to me
    That let me see
    Where I come from

    Found an old friend
    Meeting my guitar in the city
    Feeling like a star in the city
    And suddenly it seems that I'm where I'm supposed to be, oh
    And now I'm fully grown
    And I'm seeing everything clearer
    Just sweep away the dust from the mirror
    We're walking hand in hand on the warm white sands

    I'm looking at a life unfold
    Dreaming of the green and gold
    Just like the ancient stone
    Every sunrise I know
    Those eyes you gave to me
    That let me see
    Where I come from

    Ancient stone
    Oh, green and gold
    Ancient stone
    Oh, green and gold
    Ancient stone
    Oh, green and gold
    Ancient stone
    Green and gold

    I'm looking at a life unfold
    Dreaming of the green and gold
    Just like the ancient stone
    Every sunrise I know
    Those eyes you gave to me
    That let me see
    Where I come from

    I'm looking at a life unfold
    Dreaming of the green and gold
    Just like the ancient stone
    Every sunrise I know
    Those eyes you gave to me
    That let me see
    Where I come from Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
