She's Becoming Gold

She runs down the staircase And into the yard And she goes down to the end of the drive With her friends on the phone And her angels on guard She's just recently feeling alive After all of the tears and the changes Now there's something that's taken ahold She's becoming gold She's becoming gold She thinks of a boy That she knew back in school And she wonders if he's doing all right The man of her dreams Isn't all that he seems And the baby don't sleep through the night Something is moving inside her And the weather is turning so cold But she's becoming gold, She's becoming gold She's becoming gold (I've seen her) She's becoming gold She can hear in the distance The sound of the cars And she sees the snow falling down on the hill Now the trees and the houses Are white as the stars And she doesn't wanna cry But she probably will As she thinks about all of life's mystery And how slowly the answers unfold She's becoming gold She's becoming gold
