She runs down the staircase

And into the yard

And she goes down to the end of the drive

With her friends on the phone

And her angels on guard

She's just recently feeling alive

After all of the tears and the changes

Now there's something that's taken ahold

She's becoming gold

She's becoming gold



She thinks of a boy

That she knew back in school

And she wonders if he's doing all right

The man of her dreams

Isn't all that he seems

And the baby don't sleep through the night

Something is moving inside her

And the weather is turning so cold

But she's becoming gold,

She's becoming gold

She's becoming gold (i've seen her)

She's becoming gold



She can hear in the distance

The sound of the cars

And she sees the snow falling down on the hill

Now the trees and the houses

Are white as the stars

And she doesn't wanna cry

But she probably will

As she thinks about all of life's mystery

And how slowly the answers unfold

She's becoming gold

She's becoming gold
