MADE OF GOLD
Made of Gold (feat. Jasmine Cephas Jones) – Craig Wedren & Pink Ape
meet me in awhile
come and take a walk with me
you could be my whiskey casualty
a ball I wanna roll
oh
you kiss me
and I’m pain free
put your best suit on
grab my hand
and go
‘cause baby there’s a lot to see
a lot I wanna show
please please please
have faith in me
you’re the place I wanna call home
you and me
are the reason why hearts are made of gold
better run for your love
you say 1-2-3
and I’ll be right by your side
through the seasons of hot and cold
come and take a ride with me
(come on take a ride with me)
kissing on your wrist so casually
(kissing on your wrist so casually)
living out a public fantasy
oh you’ll star in every roll
you kiss me
oh
plain to see
you’re the face I wanna crawl on
so what’s another minute baby
you and me
are the reason why hearts are made of gold
better run for your love
when you say 1-2-3
I’ll be right by your side
through the seasons of hot and cold
you’re the reason hearts are made of gold
I don’t wanna drag you down
with so much flying ‘round
but I could sure use a friend right now
and you’re the best thing I have found
baby take a walk with me
(baby take a walk with me)
you could be my risk-of-casualty
(you could be my risk-of-casualty)
oh you semi-oughta-know
please say please
and we’ll roll with the breeze
put your best foot forward
and fall
Ahead of the release, we’re premiering Craig Wedren & Pink Ape’s “When We Were Older,” which is a nice dose of string and harmonica laden indie folk.. It’s got a little of a Paul Simon vibe, and it’s very worth hearing. – Andrew Sacher, Brooklyn Vegan
