lyrics

The oil from your hand ruins a butterfly's wings
By the time I was five, I'd learned these kinds of things
Pretty to look at and precious to hold
No, nothing you touch turns to gold

A frog is a tadpole you had to let grow
A sunflower's high but it starts down below
Everything dies, when you're young you don't know
No, nothing you touch turns to gold

And with the passing of the days,
How do you let them fall away?
Even the sunset seems to call,
You never can hold on to it all

A wave has to crash and then no longer be
But it wasn't a wave, just a part of the sea
A ripple's a gift that you start with a stone
No, nothing you touch turns to gold
Nothing you touch turns to gold
Nothing you touch turns to gold
