Passenger - Golden Thread Lyrics






There's lights on in a window,
And a sign post in the snow,
There's a golden coin beneath your pillow.

There's parachutes above you,
And life boats below,
And a heart that loves you,
Yeah I think you know.

There's treasure maps well hidden,
And diamonds in the dirt,
There's a golden thread weaved in to your shirt.

There's a kiss for every tear,
That rolls down your cheek,
And words I shouldn't hear and words you shouldn't speak.

So tell me one more lie my dear,
Whisper softly so nobody hears,
Keep me hanging on for another year,
Oh tell me one more lie my dear.

Well there's whisky and blankets,
And a bonfire when you're cold,
I'll hold a golden breathe till I'm silver and old.

With only hope to keep alive,
And only time to kill,
There's a fool that loved you and he loves you still.

So tell me one more lie my dear,
Whisper softly so nobody hears,
Keep me hanging on for another year,
Oh tell me one more lie my dear.

Spin me one more tale sweet heart,
Weave golden needle and thread through my heart,
Whisper all the things you know I long to hear,
Oh tell me one more lie my dear.

    (Just an unimportant message) I love this song still even though Its been a while since I've heard it but hearing it now I just feel at ease in some sort of way and just been a a stream of remembrance. The song always reminded me of this girl I know. We we're highschool with our own lives in our minds. Dealing with our separate aches and problems. But when my path crossed with her's I just fell in love with her. I told her and she told me she did to only for it to be a lie. It really devasted me for quite some time, we went our separate ways with eventful things coming in our lives slowly distancing us. I was already aware of it but even after dating around I just grew to miss her, the only thing that came to mind was that I really loved her. She became my muse in some sort of way, her energy and being felt like nothing close to anything I've been with. As I grew older I noticed I really miss her and at times I just dream of her. But time heals and seperates people. Even now I've learned to move on and what not but there was something about her that felt cosmic. I wish her the best now, and I hope she's happy where ever she's at. I'll always have the purest love for her.

  5. H.... ....

    There's something about this recording that makes me come back to it time and time again.

  6. J.... M....

    Fantastic recording of an amazing song. You have to see him live, I've seem him a couple of times and he is easily one of the best performers around. And it is mind blowing when he stops singing and a room of a thousand people finish the song word for word.

  7. S.... M....

    god I love this man

  8. C.... B....

    je suis fan

  9. G.... C....

    This and, his version of "Bullets" done in another alley in the city are better than the album cut versions. Passenger is one of the very few who are actually better live than when recorded in the studio.

  10. S.... ....

    so beautiful!

  11. j.... ....

    Dude.. Those English subtitles... Hahahaha!

  12. b.... ....

  17. S.... C....

    you guys noticed how the traffic noise and the dogs barking somehow fit in the song? :)) If I'll hear the studio version of this song it'll be as if something will be missing...

  18. A.... S....

    his singing vice is so diferent from his speaking voice

  19. s.... ....

    Freaks south afrika

  20. L.... R....

    LOL Top it off your pretty damn sexy :) !!!! I think I speak for many gals out here!

  21. L.... R....

    Where the hell have I been? I just found Passenger about a week ago & have been listening to all his songs since. Your songs are so passionate and moving. When I listen to them it makes me feel the innocence and fragility of people. Your gentle voice brings me into the songs, lets me feel and visualize the story of the song. Songs bring back memories of a lot of different things, all very emotional. OK,,,I'm done with all this emotional stuff lol. COME TO LONDON ONTARIO CANADA!!!! PLEASE!!

  22. 0.... ....

    Wow. I do not know what I would do for that voice. Think about it. Just sitting around a bonfire after a wonderful summer day. Sitting around talking, and then, in the twilight of dusk, one start playing the guitar whilst the other listen. All covered up in blankets. Wonderful.

  82. l.... ....

    I think we can agree, Passenger and this video are pure bliss.

  83. B.... ....

    My favourite part is actually when the dog is barking. Because it shows how real this whole video is. They could have easily edited it out, but they didnt which makes the whole video that much more live and real for me :)

  84. N.... ....

    sounds sensitive and moved me
    beautifull and real

  85. O.... ....

    In cafes, at work, on the street etc.
    Or you know, in a back alley singing a song.

  86. J.... B....

    Cannot wait to see to perform live at the Ed Sheeran concert in January :) your so good amazing voice

  87. B.... C....

    Had this song on repeat for about 2 hours now...

  88. l.... ....

    this is amazing. The lyrics are so honest and vulnerable. There's nothing fake or plastic about this, its pure, untouched beauty. I can't even....Everything about this song and Mike's singing is just so lovely. It's so awesome to listen to something like this and feel so profoundly touched.

  89. R.... H....

    Wow. No words. He's that good.

  90. g.... a....

    oh my.

  91. A.... W....

    A beautiful song, a beautiful video. That alley became a magical place that night.

  92. F.... E....

    Perfect song. When a song is filled with deep feelings it turns into something else. This song is that something else.

  93. g.... ....

    That likesabre must be pretty hard to hold safely.

  94. V.... K....

    With only hope to keep alive,
    And only time to kill,
    There's a fool that loved you,
    And (s)he loves you still..

  95. A.... F....

    1 person here is most certainly deaf/retarded.

  96. M.... C....

    this is too perfect...

  97. c.... ....

    this made my night... Beautiful... Just Beautiful!

  98. J.... ....
