Golden Twilight

[Intro]
[Verse]
Down in the damp, dark hall
Shadows climb up the wall
I wore a name not mine
Waiting for a holy sign
Locked in the basement light
Praying through the longest night
The iron lock was always thin
I just had to let me in
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the Wurlitzer starts to hum
I can hear the freedom come
Like a flugelhorn in the street
Lifting up my tired feet
[Chorus]
Oh, I’m stepping out now
Golden twilight on my brow
I’m leaving the ghost behind
For a better peace of mind
It’s a quiet kind of win
Where the new life can begin
Yeah, I’m finally free
To just be me
[Verse]
Cracked stained glass hits the floor
I don’t need the mask no more
Brother’s jacket, worn and old
Keeps me from the winter cold
Rain and lemonade on the sill
Time is standing perfectly still
Mixing sweet with the gray
As the shadows fade away
[Pre-Chorus]
I feel the fretless bass line groove
Giving me the room to move
Every scar is a holy map
Falling right into my lap
[Chorus]
Oh, I’m stepping out now
Golden twilight on my brow
I’m leaving the ghost behind
For a better peace of mind
It’s a quiet kind of win
Where the new life can begin
Yeah, I’m finally free
To just be me
[Bridge]
I felt the spirit move my soul
Finally I have reached the goal
No more hiding in the dark
I have found the living spark
(Let the horns blow!)
Hear the flugelhorn start to cry
Underneath the evening sky
It’s a physical release
I have finally found my peace
[Solo]
[Chorus]
Oh, I’m stepping out now
Golden twilight on my brow
I’m leaving the ghost behind
For a better peace of mind
It’s a quiet kind of win
Where the new life can begin
Yeah, I’m finally free
To just be me
[Post-Chorus]
To just be me
Finally free
I can see
It was always me
[Outro]
