The Golden Boy (2012 Orchestrated Version / Single Edit)

And then he sang to her

I love you for your silence
I love you for your peace
The still and calm releases
That sweep into my soul
That slowly take control

I love you for your passion
I love you for your fire
The violent desire
That burns me in its flame
A love I dare not name

His rise was irresistible, yeah
He grew into the part
His explanation simply that he suffered for his art
No base considerations of some glittering reward
The prize was knowing that his work was noticed and adored, hey

I love you (yes, I love you)
For your silence (for your silence)
I love you for your peace (your peace)
The still and calm releases
Sweep into my soul
But slowly, slowly take control

He told the truth
Yes, he told the truth (and he told the truth)
Accepting every honour with a masterly display (display)
Of well rehearsed reluctance to be singled out this way
He started to believe (Who? Who?)
That he was all they said and more (and more)
She forgot, she forgot the reasons (reasons)
She had wanted him before, yeah

I love you (I love you for your passion) for your passion
I love you for your fire
The violent desire
Burns me in its flame
Oh, a love I dare not name

The still and calm releases (releases)
That sweep into my soul (sweep into my soul)
Slowly (slowly)
Slowly (slowly)
Slowly (slowly)
Slowly (slowly)
Slowly (slowly)
Slowly (slowly)
Slowly
Take control

When at last they fell apart
She wished that she could be the hardened heart of yesterday
As cynical as he
By changing for the better
She had changed things for the worse
The words that made them happy once
Now echoed, echoed as a curse
