Golden Fjord, Empty Wallet (version 2)

Verse

Cold concrete beneath my boots tonight

Fjord of light reflected in the glass that's breaking down

I've been chasing silver through the amber glow

Pre-Chorus

Tell me what it costs to hold onto the gold

Is the view worth losing everything I'm told

Chorus

I'm standing on a fjord with my hands turned up to sky

Every coin I had is floating by

Golden water, empty pocket tonight

But for this one breath I feel alive

Verse

Fishermen's lanterns swinging from the pier below

Salt air scratching at a collar that I used to own

I traded every dollar just to hear it hum and glow

Pre-Chorus

Tell me what it costs to hold onto the gold

Is the view worth losing everything I'm told

Chorus

I'm standing on a fjord with my hands turned up to sky

Every coin I had is floating by

Golden water, empty pocket tonight

But for this one breath I feel alive

Bridge

Maybe money's just paper caught in the tide

Nothing here was ever worth my whole life anyway

So let it wash away and watch it disappear

Tonight the horizon is all that I need to hear

Chorus

I'm standing on a fjord with my hands turned up to sky

Every coin I had is floating by

Golden water, empty pocket tonight

But for this one breath I feel alive
