The Golden Room

Verse 1

Empty stadium

Flags hang low at half-mast

Faces in the window

Holding back what can't last

The quiet on the highway

Where the radio used to sing

Everybody reaches

For the same remembered thing

Pre-Chorus

And the sky is turning heavy

Like it knows we lost a light

Chorus

World is crying for a legend

Every corner every street

World is crying for a legend

Hands pressed up to the glass of grief

Post-Chorus

Ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Verse 2

So many gone before you

Gathered in that golden room

They're singing out a welcome

Softly through the coming doom

And somewhere up that staircase

A choir you used to know

Is opening the doorway

Saying it's your time to go

Pre-Chorus

And the flags are all unraveling

For the longest kind of night

Chorus

World is crying for a legend

Every corner every street

World is crying for a legend

Hands pressed up to the glass of grief

Post-Chorus

Ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Bridge

You were bigger than the moment

Still they'll carry what you made

A hundred million voices

Singing softly in the shade

Chorus

World is crying for a legend

Every corner every street

World is crying for a legend

Hands pressed up to the glass of grief

Post-Chorus

Ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh
