I forgot what you looked like
I forgot your skin
I wanted to stand up
make you a mountain
I wanted to gather
some stars in my hands
throw 'em before you
like they were sand
cos i wanted you glowing
so you could see
what i'm seeing
when I behold you
I forgot your skin

I'm not a rich man
I just had to prove
gather some gold dust
and flung it on you
but gold doesnt suit you
not on your skin
like a drunk in the morning
it just doesnt fit in
your finer than gold
finer than gold
finer than gold

so now i sit here
alone in my room
holding this necklace
thinking of you
I just want to break it
dig it a hole
I know you forgive me
cause' how could I know
your finer than gold
finer than gold
finer than gold

so happy birthday
I don't have a gift
I've spent all my money
I only have this
your finer than gold
your finer than gold
finer than gold.
