Waterboys, The - A Golden Age

I heard a rumour of a golden age

And the stage is gettin' set

I heard a rumour of a golden age

The stage is gettin' set

I heard a rumour of a golden age

In the song, on a screen and printed page

And all the world will be a stage

And the stage is gettin' set



I've seen the glow of a golden dawn

And the dawn is comin' through

I've seen the glow of a golden dawn

And the dawn is comin' through

I've seen the glow of a golden dawn

And all will wait to gaze upon

And though the hour is hard and long

The dawn is coming through



I felt the wind behind my heels

And it feels good to me

I felt the wind behind my heels

And it feels good to me

I felt the wind behind my heels

My soul fired up like catherine wheels

And i'm never gonna forget how it feels

And it feels good to me



I stood on the side of a shimmering sea

I saw a ship come sailing in

I stood on the side of a shimmering sea

I saw a ship come sailing in

I stood on the side of a shimmering sea

Said "lord, i surrender" and fell on my knees

And loving rose in the heart of me

And the ship came sailing in



I heard a rumour of a golden age
