lyrics

Six years old
Standing with my nose in the mirror
Trying to dip my toes in the mirror
Thinking, "Who's that girl?"
And, "Does the mirror world go on forever?"
Carminia Road
Sharpening the knives in the attic
Trying to watch cartoons through the static
Thinking where I'm gonna be
If I'm ever twenty-three? Oh

I'm looking at the life unfold
Dreaming of the green and gold
Just like the ancient stone
Every sunrise I know
Those eyes you gave to me
That let me see
Where I come from

Find an old friend
Meeting my guitar in the city
I'm feeling like a star in the city
When suddenly it seems that I'm where I'm supposed to be, oh
Now I'm fully grown
And I'm seeing everything clearer
Just sweep away the dust from the mirror
We're walking hand in hand on the warm white sand

I'm looking at the life unfold
Dreaming of the green and gold
Just like the ancient stone
Every sunrise I know
Those eyes you gave to me
That let me see
Where I come from

Ancient stone
Green and gold
Ancient stone
Green and gold
Ancient stone
Green and gold
Ancient stone
Green and gold, oh

I'm looking at the life unfold
Dreaming of the green and gold
Just like the ancient stone
Every sunrise I know
Those eyes you gave to me
That let me see
Where I come from

Hey, I'm looking at the life unfold
Dreaming of the green and gold
Just like the ancient stone
Every sunrise I know
Those eyes you gave to me
That let me see
Where I come from

Ancient stone
Green and gold
Ancient stone
Green and gold
