Halo of Gold

(Written by Alexander "Skip" Spence)

have you got a fine place to slip to

when you're feeling down

have you had a week or two

just to get your troubles down

found a lot of life and laughter

with a grandfather in the bowery

she had a body of sixteen or seventeen

she had a mind of forty


i met her on a cold day

in a city far away


with the worlds about zero

and i saw at once,

into her soul

she's gonna call me her hero


never like a walk in the rain or the lane

i found a lot of death that day

with the grandfather in the bowery

cause i like her like the world


she had a halo of gold

told me stories of her life and the courage was sublime

pantomime

i walk the line

cause you're blind

i walk the line
