Silver String

Til the doors of your eyes open

I will keep you safe from harm

Humming low into your sleeping ear

With your sweet head hanging heavy

In the soft bend of my arm

Drift off, I'll hold you here

Feels like our hearts are tied

By a silver string

And like cannon fire from a mountainside

I hear them beating

My arms will make the bow of a Spanish ship out on the sea

As crystal waves break on my wooden skin

My voice in your full sail will sing you where you need to be

Breathe out, I'll breathe you in

Feels like our hearts are tied

By a silver string

And like cannon fire from a mountainside

I hear them beating

Under the sparkling diamond backbone

Of the Milky Way

I'll be your shelter, my sweet, my own

And here I'll stay

And if you wake and think that you're alone

Oh my own

My flesh and bone

You are home

Always home

I can hear them beating

Feels like our hearts are tied

By a silver string

And like cannon fire from a mountainside

I hear them beating

Ooooooh
