Meshell Ndegeocello - Golden Ring (with Brandi Carlile) (Visualizer)

In a pawn shop in Chicago on a sunny summer day A couple gazes at the wedding rings there on display A smile and a nod my head I say, "Honey, that's for you It's not much, but it's the best that I can do"

Golden ring (golden ring) One tiny little stone Waiting there (waiting there) For someone to take it home By itself (by itself) It's just a cold metallic thing Only love can make a golden wedding ring

In a little wedding chapel later on that afternoon An old upright piano plays that old familiar tune Tears roll down our cheeks Happy thoughts run through our heads As we whisper low "With this ring, I thee wed"

Golden ring (golden ring) One tiny little stone Shining ring (shining ring) At last you've found a home By itself (by itself) It's just a cold metallic thing Only love can make a golden wedding ring

Oh, in a small two-room apartment As they fight their final round I say, "You won't admit it But I know you're leaving town" I know one thing for certain I don't love you anymore So I throw down the ring While you walk out the door

Golden ring (golden ring) One tiny little stone Cast aside (cast aside) Like a love that's dead and gone By itself (by itself) It's just a cold metallic thing Only love can make a golden wedding ring

South side of Chicago It's a sunny summer day A couple gazes at the wedding rings on display Ah
