Original Doug Heyes lyrics · AI-generated music & vocals
A mountainside refuge holds memories of rivers, wildlife, wine and a love that once seemed secure. Separation and wildfire disturb that remembered peace, yet the narrator keeps inviting his beloved home. Golden Rock becomes both a real-feeling landscape and the hoped-for place where loss can turn toward renewal.

GOLDEN ROCK Golden Rock on the mountainside Hummingbirds and Butterflies And and a sweet love song A love that can't go wrong There's a river down to the Bay Ease on down and float away To a brand new day We can play along the way Walk with me to Golden Rock Silver Fox and red-tailed hawk One old faded Valentine A glass of dandelion wine We can leave the world behind This world is all inside your mind Look inside what do you find Golden Rock and bright sunshine Run with me to Golden Rock Climb with me up to the top Shadows long at the end of day Baby will you fly away From the top of our Golden Rock See the shepherd tend the flock In a green valley far below Way down where the River flows Waterfalls and cool cascades Granite walls and colonnades Echoes of another time When I was yours and you were mine Then one day you went away I got lost along the way Storm-tossed like a castaway Sad goodbye on a moonlight Bay Then there came another night Sparks a-risin’, firelight Lost horizon, gone away Wildfires and Shadow play Burning oak and churning smoke Fireflies, and bullfrogs croak I see you in the fire ring Baby, won't you wear my ring Come back home to Golden Rock Time to roll away the stone Break the code and pick the lock Time for us to all go home When at last night is done We stand before the rising Sun Bell tower, ticking clock Feel the power of Golden Rock *******
