one day you're up

and the next day you're down

and all your dreams

pass you by



you sit in your room

with your face in a frown

waiting for her

last goodbye



and all of the wishing wells

and stars in the sky

won't make her stay any more



and all of the plans you've made

will soon wash to sea

like a lark who can't sing any more



once in awhile you remember her laugh

for she could make you feel strong

'twas then that you thought your love always would last

but now it seems you were wrong



and all of the wishing wells

and stars in the sky

won't make her stay anymore



and all of the plans you've made

will soon wash to sea

like a lark who can't sing any more

golden lark won't you sing any more



golden lark

keeps her heart

riding on the wind



she's a mystery

like a gypsy

hides her love within



golden lark

keeps her heart

riding on the wind



she's a mystery

like a gypsy

hides her love within



la la la la
