As sad as it gets. "That's what happens when you turn your back on your dreams."  Allusions to the ancient folk tale of Rumplestiltskin, in the context of sacrifices made in the mysterious effort to choose one's true path.

Water this Dark

Gold into Yarn

Solid Gold

Words and music by
Troy Krusenstjerna

One thing I know
No one likes to be alone
One thing I've learned
No one likes to feel burned
Of all I've observed
Actions speak louder than words
For all the love I've known
You're my Solid Gold
In my heart I hold
My Solid Gold

So rare is you
Solid Gold
Through and through
So kind and true
Solid Gold
Through and through
You're the one I love
You're my Solid Gold
You're the one I love
You're my Solid Gold

You're mine to have and hold
You're my love my Solid Gold
You're the one I want when I grow old
Your  loving soul

So rare is you
Solid Gold 
Through and through
So kind and true
Solid Gold 
Through and through

You're the one I love
You're my Solid Gold
You're the one I love
You're my Solid Gold
