The Waterboys - A Golden Age lyrics

I heard a rumour of a golden age And the stage is gettin' set I heard a rumour of a golden age The stage is gettin' set I heard a rumour of a golden age In the song, on a screen and printed page And all the world will be a stage And the stage is gettin' set I've seen the glow of a golden dawn And the dawn is comin' through I've seen the glow of a golden dawn And the dawn is comin' through I've seen the glow of a golden dawn And all will wait to gaze upon And though the hour is hard and long The dawn is coming through I felt the wind behind my heels And it feels good to me I felt the wind behind my heels And it feels good to me I felt the wind behind my heels My soul fired up like catherine wheels And i'm never gonna forget how it feels And it feels good to me I stood on the side of a shimmering sea I saw a ship come sailing in I stood on the side of a shimmering sea I saw a ship come sailing in I stood on the side of a shimmering sea Said "lord, i surrender" and fell on my knees And loving rose in the heart of me And the ship came sailing in I heard a rumour of a golden age
