Lyrics
Seven in the morning, the night is done She walks out slowly into the sun Twelve long hours on her tired feet Now the whole street hums a gentle beat Thank you for the night you gave Thank you for the lives you saved Walking home in the gold, gold, gold Sunshine on her shoulders, nothing left to hold Walking home in the gold, gold, gold You carried all of us, now the day is slow Walking home in the gold Baker waves hello from the corner door Hands her warm bread, says nothing more A bus driver nods, and the lights turn green The kindest little morning she has seen Thank you for the night you gave Thank you for the lives you saved Walking home in the gold, gold, gold Sunshine on her shoulders, nothing left to hold Walking home in the gold, gold, gold You carried all of us, now the day is slow Walking home in the gold Kick off your shoes, let the quiet in A cup of tea and a sleepy grin The city is waking, you go to rest Sleep well, sleep deep, you gave your best Walking home in the gold, gold, gold Sunshine on her shoulders, nothing left to hold Walking home in the gold, gold, gold You carried all of us, now the day is slow Walking home in the gold Walking home in the gold Sleep well, sleep well
