Straw Into Gold - Idina Menzel

I wonder if you sleep right now

Do you realize I’m clinging to The edge of this bed I have

Nowhere to go--I have nowhere

If I leave you’ll call me quitter

If I stay you’ll punish me with silence and somehow

You’ll fall asleep… You'll fall asleep

Chorus: Well do you know that I won’t sleep--No I won’t sleep all night

Long

As your silhouette turns it’s back on my spoon

I’m mesmerized by the ricochet moon

Leaping this leprechaun’s wall

I’m so disenchanting

Intoxicated by my own tear’s soul

And come tomorrow

When my beauty is old

Like a speckled princess

I’ll try to cash in clovers for gold

So I’ll light a candle and begin to Write, turn to my work as refuge

Though my womb is a rush hour taxi

Ride, but I will try

To metamorphose pain along my plight

But I’ll despise each word I write

So I am clinging to the

Edge like some soap-opera star

With her ten second fade

As the light cascades

Do you love me anymore?

Chorus

I’ll try to spin straw into gold

Straw into gold… Straw into gold… Straw into gold

Spinning for mercy

Spinning for hope

Spinning for love

Spinning for gold
