Lyrics
Golden button, where you come from?
From a jacket of a king?
Or the pocket of a father in a world I never seen?
Pulled from his coat when he pick up his son
And put in a pocket for his wife to sew on?
Or given to his son to hold?
One day, you'll have a coat like Daddy's of your own
With buttons of gold
Hold on to this one until then
And think of me when you're alone
I'll be with you
Golden button, things thrown away, lost and forgotten
Your loss, my gain
A treasure to be stashed away for a rainy day
To fill the emptiness inside of me
Golden button, where you come from?
Take me there
Is there a land across the sea
Where someone might have time for me?
Golden button, where you come from?
From a jacket of a king?
Or the pocket of a father in a world I never seen?
Pulled from his coat when he pick up his son
And put in a pocket for his wife to sew on?
Or given to his son to hold?
One day, you'll have a coat like Daddy's of your own
With buttons of gold
Hold on to this one until then
And think of me when you're alone
I'll be with you
Golden button, things thrown away, lost and forgotten
Your loss, my gain
A treasure to be stashed away for a rainy day
To fill the emptiness inside of me
Golden button, where you come from?
Take us there
Is there a land across the sea
Where someone might have time for me?
Hold on to this one until then
And think of me when you're alone
Your loneliness will be with you
