Brighter Than Gold

Four steps in the morning,

Two steps in the day,

Three steps in the evening,

The darkness is a’blazing

All the angels, sheikhs and soldiers

Come step to the parade

Ola e, ola e

I run out like a cheetah

Monkey’s in the blood

What a piece of work this man

Who screams the name of love

But all his brothers, cousins, sisters, and others hear his fuss

Ola e, ola e

Chorus:

All night awake,

In the moonlight I’m with you

In the moonlight I’m with you brighter than gold

Born on the horizon,

Beaming through the sky

Someone’s seen what none can dream,

But light calls it a lie

And all the sinners, saints and winners,

Just wink and walk on by

Ola e, ola e

The Brando’s in the forest,

And Nancy’s in the flood

The black swan makes a pirouette

The gods cry from above

And all the rain keeṗs falling,

I’m bare-feet in the mud

Ola e, ola e

Chorus:

All night awake,

In the moonlight I’m with you

In the moonlight I’m with you brighter than gold

Ola e, ola e

Come northern lights of Norway

Come sunrise to the East

Come wicked witches in the west!

West-south time with a beat

And all the lions, riots and preachers come down into the street

Ola e, ola e

Chorus:

All night awake,

In the moonlight I’m with you

In the moonlight I’m with you brighter than

All night awake,

In the moonlight I’m with you
