Old Money Lyrics

Blue hydrangea, cold cash divine
Cashmere, cologne and white sunshine
Red racing cars, sunset and vine
The kids were young and pretty
Where have you been?
Where did you go?
Those summer nights seem long ago
And so is the girl you used to call
The queen of New York City

But if you send for me, you know I'll come
And if you call for me, you know I'll run
I'll run to you, I'll run to you
I'll run, run, run
I'll come to you, I'll come to you
I'll come, come, come
Oh-oh oh, oh-oh oh

The power of youth is on my mind
Sunsets, small town, I'm out of time
Will you still love me when I shine
From words but not from beauty
My father's love was always strong
My mother's glamour lives on and on
Yet still inside, I felt alone
For reasons unknown to me

But if you send for me, you know I'll come
And if you call for me, you know I'll run
I'll run to you, I'll run to you
I'll run, run, run
I'll come to you, I'll come to you
I'll come, come, come
Oh-oh oh, oh-oh oh

And if you call I'll run, run, run
If you change your mind, I'll come, come, come
Oh-oh oh, ah-ah ah

Blue hydrangea, cold cash divine
Cashmere, cologne and hot sunshine
Red racing cars, sunset and vine
And we were young and pretty

Old Money

Del Rey wrote this lovelorn lament of a lost lover with Robbie Fitzsimmons of the duo Ellyn & Robbie. It was produced by Dan Heath, who is best known for his scoring work with Hans Zimmer on such films as Pirates of the Carribean and The Da Vinci Code.

The ballad is melodically based on "Love Theme From Romeo and Juliet," which was written by Nino Rota for Franco Zeffirelli's film version of Romeo and Juliet. A rearrangement by Henry Mancini was a #1 pop hit in the United States in 1969.

The song is an update both melodically and lyrically, of Del Rey's unreleased song "Methamphetamines."
