Halo Of Gold

Have you got a fine place to slip to

When you're feeling down

Have you had a week or two

Just to get your troubles downFound a lot of life and laughter

With a grandfather in the bowery

She had a body of sixteen or seventeen

She had a mind of fortyI met her on a cold day

In a city far awayWith the worlds about zero

And I saw at once

Into her soul

She's gonna call me her heroNever like a walk in the rain or the lane

I found a lot of death that day

With the grandfather in the bowery

Cause I like her like the worldShe had a halo of gold

Told me stories of her life

And the courage was sublime, pantomime

I walk the line 'cause you're blind

I walk the line
