Gold Hat

    Bring me a blank piece of paper
    Make it blank so I can write down all that I want about you

    Bring me a black pen – no, make it blue
    I know that’s your favorite color too
    I worry about the past like you
    I think about the future too.

    I sat here on this chair
    Wiggled ‘round a bit
    And sometimes stared
    That’s you on the wall right there
    Pick up jeans and braided hair

    Just twist with me, just turn with me
    Just stroll the streets alone with me
    You don’t have to burn it with a pen and paper
    But if you do, be good to me

    Wear the Gold Hat if that will move her
    If you can bounce high, Bounce for her too
    Till she cry, “Gold-Hatted lover I must have you.”

    Wear the Gold Hat if that will move her
    If you can bounce high, Bounce for her too
    Till she cry, “Lover, Gold-Hatted High-Bouncing Lover I must have you.”

    I know the truth dies with the lies that we forget
    I know that these eyes look in your eyes every chance they get

    This is the story of the greatest of the mornings from the summer rain
    This is the story of the way that you talked, the way that she talked
    And I just look at her….

    Wear the Gold Hat if that will move her
    If you can bounce high, Bounce for her too
    Till she cry, “Gold-Hatted lover I must have you.”

    Wear the Gold Hat if that will move her
    And you will bounce high for her too
    Till she cry, “I must have you, I must have you, I must have you.”

    Bring me a blank piece of paper
    Bring me a pen
    I’d like the blue one again
    Don’t you worry about the sentences
    I can’t write them out ‘til I’m back again
